Scope and content

Item consists of 2 audio cassettes featuring a talk given by John English on November 8, 1985 at L'Arche Daybreak. The talk was titled, "On Discernment". v1 has part 1, while v2 has part 2. This was a talk to L'Arche Daybreak Assistants.

Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: The discernment of spirits has to do with decision making. We are trying to discover the will of God in our life. The most human thing to do is to make decisions. But most of us don't like making decisions because there is too much risk involved. We would prefer to just float along. But floating along does not develop our humanity to the full. When we are making free decisions we are being truly human.
