Worship: July 1981, pp. 399-404) on the website of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada. Mehlman also requests permission to alter some of the masculine references to God in the article. Letter includes a copy of Mehlman's letter from March 11, 1996 to the editor of Worship magazine, asking to reprint "Spiritual Direction" in Pneuma, and for permission to publish the article on the website. Letter includes a copy of the response to Mehlman from (Rev.) R. Kevin Seasoltz, O.S.B., General Editor, on behalf of Worship, granting Mehlman permission to reproduce Nouwen's article in print, but not on the internet, as Mehlman would need permission from Nouwen.
