I have come across a wonderful Christian philosopher/spiritual director. That slash-spiritual director part is pretty important. That means he's intelligible, quite quite forward and easy to understand. His name is Anthony De Mello. And he has a number of books, some of which are out of print, but I am currently reading Awareness. I am only on page twelve, and am quite impressed.
In other news, yes I have read Henri Nouwen. And it is like you said he thinks and writes a lot like I do. I read The Wounded Healer last week. He gives a rather nice perspective of ministry in a modern world in that book. His modern world is 1972, but most of it is still very relevant.
Nouwen has a very elegant style in his writing. De Mello has a very frank style. Nouwen contemplative. De Mello practical. Two very different minds. Two very great minds.
