Andrew I enjoyed your article and found it very helpful. Particularly the practical, ordinariness of the spirituality you describe.

I was however struck by the final sentence in your penultimate paragraph. I have felt more comfortable not thinking that it is us that ‘become the presence of God’ but rather that God is realised, becomes present to us in the event (which includes us). This then loses the notion that I am ‘taking God somewhere’, as if I could! It also allows both ‘giver’ and ‘receiver’ be a part of that event.
