room for God – Kanisa la Christadelphian huko Anderlecht

To discover Source of life

You will begin to notice that there will be one great fixed value in your life, to whom you will eventually become attached. You will begin to notice, if you open yourself to Him, that He will carry you over ditches and valleys over the deep waters.

In « Unavailability », Hartmut Rosa already stated that it is ‘no coincidence that the concept of Democracy braucht Religion, ‘democracy needs religion’, originally originates from a theological context’. According to him, God is fundamentally unavailable, but if certain requirements are met, mutual involvement and accessibility are possible. It is enough to listen to His/Her/The word and get He/She/It available through prayer.

It is on the pilgrimage that the pilgrim wants to open himself to hear the Word of God. It can be reassured that even before the journey, there is not really much room for God in the person. But during the journey, the trekker will learn that it is better to make room in the heart and soul for the Creator of heaven and earth. In fact, « Being God » becomes more important as the journey progresses.

« Whether god exists and the bible is Her/His/The word, Rosa doesn’t care. He is interested in the possibility of resonance, of not being alone in the world. Churches have an arsenal of rites, traditions, gestures, practices and open spaces in which we can allow ourselves to be addressed, to reflect on something. The Bible contains an infinite number of images that evoke resonance. It is one ‘great document of shouting, crying and begging to be heard, to find resonance in the face of a silent starry world.' » Writes Tomas Ronse in his report on Hartmut Rosa in his book « Unavailability » – From-the-heights« .

The trek to be started will be a pilgrimage in which the background figure of the whole event will be discovered. It is one of « seeking » and one of « finding » God and His actual Power. An awareness of the Source of life.

Need for a good plan or guide

To make that trip go well, it is essential to bring a good plan and compass. The very best Plan or Guide available for this purpose consists of about 66 books which are brought together in the Book of books, the Bible. In it many questions will be answered and examples will be given of many men and women who traveled through many countries on their way to that Land of God.

It may be helpful to read those accounts of people who have walked the Way before, or to learn more about the place you will be visiting.

It doesn’t even hurt to bring a pen and paper and write down some things along the way. Consider keeping a journal of your pilgrimage to record the discouragements and joys of the journey.
