Community Discernment​
   ... excerpts from the newsletter

As we begin a new chapter in the life of our local fraternity, we enter into a period of discernment around our individual and collective gifts as a fraternity, recognizing that our gifts are given to be of service to others....
....Christian discernment is not the same as decision making. ...Discernment..., is about listening and responding to that place within us where our deepest desires align with God’s desire. As discerning people, we sift through our impulses, motives, and options to discover which ones lead us closer to divine love and compassion for ourselves and other people and which ones lead us further away. Discernment reveals new priorities, directions, and gifts from God..... (Henri Nouwen, Discernment: Reading the Signs of Daily Life (HarperOne: 2013), 17)
