Abstract

This project is the product feelings of restlessness while Presbyterian Church in Canada. of my response to deep ministering within the Something essential to my pastoral and theological work seemed to be missing. One day, while visiting the local library, I came upon John Sanford's helpful book entitled The Kingdom Within. In this volume, the author stresses the need to 'journey inward', that is, to listen to· the 'inner voice' of the unconscious. Here the work of the Holy Spirit may be experienced as a gentle· prodding toward growth and wholeness, a wholeness such as is perfectly seen in Jesus Christ. Here there may be found a whole realm often denied by the proponents of a more materialistic and scientific view of life. Within modern times, Sanford points out, 'the importance of humankind's inner world has been lost.' But the early church always held that humankind's 'conscious life was immersed in a sea of spiritual reality.' The discovery of the unconscious, Sanford holds, has challenged the materialistic view of humankind and its negation of the New Testament.
