Peterson's triangle



Most of what we see in a triangle is lines. the lines come in various proportions to each other but what determines the proportions and the shape of the whole are the angles...

Working the angles is what gives shape and integrity to the daily work of pastors and priests. if we get the angles right it is a simple matter to draw in the lines. But if we are careless or dismiss the angles, no matter how long or straight we draw the lines we will not have a triangle, a pastoral ministry.

Eugene Peterson, Working the Angles, p5.
