Glad You're Here
Welcome to In the Coracle, Pat Loughery's blog. Make yourself at home, and do join in the conversation by commenting on what you find here.
I blog a lot these days about spirituality and spiritual formation, and I have a particular interest in learning from the early Christian church's approach to spirituality and mission.
I'm a student at Bakke Graduate University, studying for a Doctor of Ministry in Transformational Leadership for the Global City. Here's my working thesis:
I am studying Celtic, Benedictine and Orthodox monasticism because I want to discover what frameworks these spiritualities provide so that my reader may understand how spiritual formation serves God’s mission.

2You don’t even know the first half of it :-)
(This one, though, was unintentional. It’s just my best t-shirt, and my mom gave it to me, and I’m here to honor her, and …)
Sigh.

4My friend, we will do that one day - hopefully soon and in the Here and Now ;-), but certainly in the great beyond.
Ohhh, trust me, I’m not by any means saying that Guinness is bad (it is, after all, Good For Your Health), I just forget sometimes that I’m around Holiness folks.
One guy thumbs-up’d me in the restroom washing our hands in the mirrors. I said, “Hey, it’s one of my ways to be missional!”.
