‘No description of our experience is perfect.’

A way with words: Kate McNally’s Thought for the Week

‘No description of our experience is perfect.’

by Kate McNally 22nd November 2024

Friends have many words for the divine. Describing what we feel connected to in worship is not easy – in my case it doesn’t fit any of the descriptions I heard as a child, nor many that I have heard as an adult. Nonetheless, I use the word ‘God’. I understand the spirit behind all of the words, but they do not define the experience we have, only point to it.
