Mission Statement:

This is a ministry dedicated to encouraging all persons to start or enhance their walk with God toward His eternal kingdom, by focusing on encouraging them to exercise their God-provided right to communicate directly with Him. We are a Christian ministry because we believe that this right to union with God was won for us by Christ, but now that a personal relationship with God is possible, it belongs to everyone to seek and be sought without regard to their religion.

The special focus of this ministry, besides encouraging personal prayer, reflection and study, is to apply mystic principles to the work of prison ministry. To this end The Anchorage distributes correspondence and educational materials to inmates who request them.

 

Contact Information for the Prison Program:

The Anchorage

48 Moose Pond Drive, Slip 4

Grand Marais, Minnesota, USA 55604-3030

 

The mailing address should be used by inmates only – anyone else should use email (see below). This project started out as a prison ministry and we're looking forward to continuing in this undertaking as well as finding ways to expand the scope of this volunteer work. If you know any inmate who would like to correspond with me concerning how practicing the presence of God can improve their life, please forward this mailing address to them. The inmate must make the initial connection. I have a few rules: the inmate must provide their full mailing address, complete with their prison-issued number, when they write; they must be courteous to me and serious about using the methods I will help them with; I will not offer anything but spiritual correspondence, and will not provide any supplies, money, legal advice, etc. I will be the friend; God will be the Provider.

  

Contact Information for Website Visitors:

  

 
Anyone who visits this site should feel free to use this email address to ask questions, offer comments, request prayers, relate personal experiences, or in any way that this ministry can serve them or others. We've found that those who are truly seeking God often avoid a forum setting because forums have become another name for debate, which leads to negativity. We welcome you to share your insights, your doubts, your successes, your hopes, your fears concerning the wonderful gift of His Presence that God has provided us all.

Who's The Best Contact of all:

  

The thing we'd most want a reader to take away from this website is that for any good we can do we're no more than an instrument of God. He is the one who put the desire in us to serve others, made us want to enhance our virtues so that we can be good servants for Him, and guides us every step of the way in carrying out His plan. We would love to encourage others to experience God's grace this way so that they too can have the peace and joy that can come from having a right-relationship with the Creator. Like the rest of our lives, the choice is ours but the grace to carry it out is His gift. We don't take credit for much because without divine input we would be nothing at all.

 

Without the clear sense that we're being divinely guided, we would in the first place never have taken the roads we did, and secondly, we would never have had the fortitude necessary to carry things out. We don't feel especially competent to be chosen, but the fact that He did choose this way shows that we can't decipher His plan or His methods unless He will us to. If there are mistakes, we see those as having a reason in God's great plan too. We do not judge the inspirations we're given because we're not qualified to do that, and we hope people will apply the same discretion to their criticism.

 

When I write for this site I don't feel that the words are mine; I feel guided by God to put down what He wishes, according to His plan. In this way my own instruction is evolving and I'm learning right along with everyone else.

 

Because Mysticism is a personal method of advancement toward union with God, and not a religion of itself, we hope that when it's necessary to state a belief, the reader realizes it's because, as humans, we must learn in human terms. We can be guided by God in powerful ways, but still we are human and can't absorb His perfection all at once. This is a shortcoming we can look forward to not having to experience in the next life, where our perfect union with God will be complete.
