The Wonder of Prayer, session 4

from Anglican Ascetic Hosted by Fr Matthew C. Dallman

This Lent on Friday evenings I am offering a teaching series called “The Wonder of Prayer.” It explores key facets of the prayer life. This is the fourth session. The audio of the talk is above. The two parts of this second session are * Review of Prayer and its Characteristics * Types of Praying: * Meditative * Affective * Contemplative * Recollective What is Prayer? Combining the doctrines of prayer by S. John of Damascus and Father Martin Thornton yields a composite definition of prayer: Prayer is spiritual activity: our lifting up of the heart and mind to the living God – anything we do which is conditioned by conscious relationship with Him, a relationship which is continuous, whether or not it is recognized or articulated.

Father Bill W. Father Bill W. I’m an Episcopal (Anglican) priest in recovery from alcoholism since 1972. I've spent my career in addiction treatment focused on 12-Step spirituality and exploring the pioneer history of AA. In discovering the lost 11th Step practice of Two Way Prayer, my program underwent a life-changing transformation. As Bill Wilson said, “ something was lost from AA when we stopped emphasizing the morning meditation." My mission now is helping people in 12-Step Fellowships explore a deeper understanding of spiritual practice and how it connects us to the "Great Reality" within. -Fr. Bill W.
