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.
First Session:
Kevin Hunt - The Daily Office Tuesday
The Daily Office is the traditional practice of regular prayers at various times of the day with the Anglican Church. In this session, we shall look at the place and development of the Daily Office in the life of the Church, from early monastic communities, through the Book of Common Prayer, to the present day; the practicalities of using the Office; and contemporary resources. We shall close by celebrating Night Prayer together.
