What is a 'relational spirituality' and how do we get from here to there?  Simply put, it is a spirituality which takes Jesus' words to "love the Lord" with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths, and "love the other" as ourselves seriously.  It is the recognition and acceptance of this reality: human souls are the most precious treasure God has placed on this planet.  They are the very reason He walked, with eyes wide open, into enemy-occupied territory and into the jaws of sin, darkness, and death to fulfill His Mission as Messiah.
