Professor Gromada has provided fellow-theologians and researchers
with a complete and accurate history of the different stages,
transitions and influences which lead to the actual text on
ministry in 'Baptism, Eucharist, and Ministry' (BEM) produced by
the Faith and Order Commission of the World Council of Churches in
January 1982 in Lima, Peru. In this serious and methodical
exposition, both published and unpublished sources and
documentation are utilized as well as the author-participant's own
material. In addition, individual theologians and theological
perspectives are identified and highlghted and the eventual
direction of ecumenical discussions is fully described.
the author takes you through his struggle for consciousness,
through passages and rites.He is in transit, in between stages of
late life.There is no guru for him, he has to find his own way. He
doesn't suffer fools easily, so he also questions himself again and
again. He asks for a humble nakedness, and he states that mirrors
cannot tell truth. there is never one truth but the one we can see.
Quote: ""The most neglected dimension of the divine is the Eros,""
John O'Donohue. Without imagination we should be poor, and we were
born naked but not poor.
These poems are moments of stillness, breath and blood, solitude
and memory mixing feeling and thought, they are love poems and they
are not. They are also poems on separation, longing and flight.
Sometimes they touch the edge of the void which is so
incomprehensible to the human mind.
The author walked through frustration and confusion, through joy
and pain.In his poetic view he tries to find back to essence.
Sitting down and leaving the noise inside and the Babel outside he
finds words walking out to fly. Again he sits back, a child
watching a balloon in the air. Nobody knows how and where it will
reach ground.
Mantras in the Desert, love poems, the author hates the need to
write, he feels he had to, distance in space and time too hard,
mind and heart overflowing, a man growing and ageing, loneliness
and solitude, joy and suffering, touching and withdrawing,
deepening love and an approach to understand, falling down and
standing up, finding roots and trying escape,a slow and painful
experience of his own insufficiency and impatience, a surprising
woman, a human deeply related to his own soul, both filled with
fear and courage, independent spirits, dreams and restless nights,
a walk through several seasons, not enough time to come to a rest,
the end is open, there is no end. love, kindness, persistence, hope
and a longing to be at home, old sadness leaving, stones to clear
in the fields, a garden to be cared for, a fire to be warm.
Poetry. The author is a medical doctor with a past in the Uk and in
Uganda. He has worked for many years as a GP in a rural area in the
South of Germany. In these poems he tries to find out of days,
nights, suffering and routine. Poems, he says, are the creation of
another experience.
