Our first task in approaching another people, another culture, another religion is to take off our shoes, for the place we are approaching is holy. Else we may find ourselves treading on someone elseโs dreams; more serious still, we may forget that God was there before our arrival. (Max Warren, in his introduction to the Christian Presence series)

I am thrilled to share this reflection – โGod is there before our arrivalโ – that appeared in the National Catholic Reporter, Soul Seeing column on August 6, 2022.
