Scope and content
Item consists of a typescript for a sermon on downward mobility. Nouwen comments on the busyness at Yale University. Though Nouwen does not use the term 'downward mobility', he says that we live in an exciting world as we prepare and do ministry. Nouwen asks whether the excitement leads us to a deeper understanding and closeness to God, or whether it is a distraction. He invites the students to help each other to create the climate where they can confess the contradictions and help each other to find good disciplines, like Jesus.
