Prayer (Seminar)
Course Description
In the fourth century Evagrius of Pontus said, “A theologian is one who prays and one who prays is a theologian.” This is a central concern of spiritual theology, and this seminar provides an opportunity for us to reflect on this aspect of the faith we confess and practice. Our goal is to deepen our own experience of prayer through the study of some of the prayer lives and classic writings of Christians throughout history.
