Irenic Thoughts

Irenic. The word means peaceful. This web log (or blog) exists to create an ongoing, and hopefully peaceful, series of comments on the life of King of Peace Episcopal Church. This is not a closed community. You are highly encouraged to comment on any post or to send your own posts.

Being with God

Last night, we finished up a study on prayer by exploring some methods of contemplative prayer. Contemplative prayer is a time of prayer which focuses on being with God separate from asking God for things. There are several ways to do this, and here are links to information on some types of contemplative prayer:
Centering Prayer
The Jesus Prayer
Anglican Prayer Beads
The Labyrinth
and
Praying with Icons

In addition to these, you may also want to follow Brother Lawrence's 17th century advice to practice the presence of God.
