In February 2012, we heard from Andrea Campanale, who is a Pioneer from Kingston and part of the Pilot Year for the CMS Pioneer Course. Andrea shared provocatively about her work with spiritual seekers, especially offering Christian prayer and reflection in the midst of the ‘Mind/Body/Spirit’ scene. Many reflected that Andrea’s session helped them to ask very difficult questions of their own work and particularly the challenges of contexualising mission amongst those who are exploring different or varied spiritualities.
