Summary

This season we are discussing three main areas of Christian practice. First stop: Contemplative Practice- what is it and why does it matter? What's the difference between meditation and contemplation? Who was Guigo II and why should you care? Is there still a case to be made for regular bible reading and prayer?  I hope this little talk inspires you to try some new/old ways of connecting with and receiving from God. For more reading, check out Guigo's book "The Ladder of Monks". For daily guided contemplative practices, check out the "Pray as You Go" app, or their website.
