Come, Holy Spirit – Renew the Whole Creation.’ That prayer is the theme chosen for the seventh assembly of the World Council of Churches which will be held in Canberra, Australia, in February 1991. But to pray for the coming of the Spirit we must spiritually prepare ourselves. As individuals, communities and churches. Such preparation for the coming of the Spirit involves openness, connectedness, and earthedness or incarnated commitment. It calls for clearing the way, removing the oobstacles that keep us in captivity. Drawing on their own experience as ‘pilgrims on the way’, the writers present us with resources for vision and renewal.
