Course Description

Explore five prayer traditions from church history: the short, frequent prayers of the Desert Fathers; the liturgical collect in the Book of Common Prayer; the Lord’s Prayer as taught by Martin Luther and C.S. Lewis; and the Jesuit and Puritan examen of conscience, as well as their use of imagination in disciplined meditation. Through study, discussion, music, and a guided retreat, learn to live the rich history of prayer.
