Participants showed innovative thinking. Ann Boot thought Advices & Queries 13 could hold valuable help for spiritual journalists, with just a tweak or two:

'Do not assume that written ministry is never to be your part. Faithfulness and sincerity in writing, even very briefly, may open the way to fuller ministry from others. When prompted to write, wait patiently to know that the leading and the time is right, but do not let a sense of your own unworthiness hold you back. Pray that your written ministry may arise from deep experience, and trust that words will be given to you. Try to write audibly and distinctly, and with sensitivity to the needs of others. Beware of writing predictably or too often, and of making additions towards the end of your script when it was well left before.'
