Vauxhall Tea Party

Phase 1 · Weeks 1–4

Foundations

Every life is a journey, and the first question is how you travel it.

The road and the traveller

State of lightFirst light on the horizon

Nursi begins with travellers. Again and again, two people set out across the same country by the same road and arrive at very different places. Nothing about the road differs. What differs is how each of them understands the journey.

These four weeks lay the foundations, one idea a week: travelling in His name, being honest with yourself, knowing what you are for, and trusting the One who holds what you cannot. Most weeks open with one of Nursi’s parables; the second opens with an image instead, a firefly and a mirror. The light here is the first light of morning, low on the horizon.
