The early church was itself puzzled by the Spirit, and unable to make much in the way of theological sense of this area of doctrine. And even today the Holy Spirit is an area fraught with competing interpretations.  

So, what is the Holy Spirit? How might we recognize it? 

How might our lives be touched, shaped and directed by the Spirit? 

Where do we start to take on the awesome responsibility of discerning quite where the Spirit may be leading us?

And when we pray, if we pray, do we really understand what we are praying for – and what we should be praying for?

And how do we even begin to defeat hate, cruelty and indifference, not only in our world, but also within our own hearts?
