The Early Schwenkfelders: An Extraordinary Culture of Prayer

Prayer is an indispensable part of Christian experience. As the world has modernized, deeper and richer spiritual experiences have dissipated. Some Christian communities have been known for their devotion to prayer. One of these is the Schwenkfelder Church. In this podcast, Rev. Dr. David McKinley, Senior Minister of Central Schwenkfelder Church, interviews Rev. Dr. Drake Williams, Minister of Mission and Theology at the church. The interview contains discussion about Caspar Schwenckfeld's writing about prayer, the catechism of the first American pastor in America, the 1762 hymnal of the Schwenkfelders, a comparison with the Pietists, and the practice of Schwenkfelders taking the Eucharist in the early 1900's. It also considers some suggestions for modern application.#Schwenkfeldersprayer  #Schwenkfelderhymnal  #CasparSchwenckfeld  #Schwenkfeldpietists #PietistsSchwenckfeldCentrally Speaking is a ministry of Central Schwenkfelder Church in Lansdale, PA  USA.
