Prayer forms the bedrock of spirituality for Christians. We are a people who pray together, and who pray alone. But one limitation that we sometimes put on our prayer lives is an overly rigid idea of what prayer is. Prayer is multifaceted. It can use words or silence; it can use traditional forms or not. Prayer connects us to God, and by extension to each other. This series will introduce different ways of praying. Come and learn with us how to pray.
In this session, we will explore understanding the psalms as a communal practice – a communal consciousness – that we can import into (and use as a support for) our individual prayer routines. We will pray together a selection of psalms and reflect on ways that this practice may be transformational not only for ourselves, but for our communities and the larger world.
