Loved this from Brian McLaren’s blog (here)...

The Quakers and Methodists picked up on the old Celtic tradition of “anam cara” or soul friendship … and they practiced using queries (soul questions) to deepen the spiritual value of their friendships. Here are some queries I have used in friendships and small groups over the years …

How goes it with your soul?
What is draining you lately?
What is recharging you lately?
How have you felt God speaking to you?
How have you been able to see and serve Christ in the elderly, the poor, the young, the needy, or the rejected?
What has been a spiritual high point? Low point?
What challenges are you facing in the coming days?

My book which goes into this area of spiritual practices is Finding Our Way Again. I hope you’ll enjoy it!

Because after all, it is a long way we travel, and how we need companionship…
