Anglican Spirituality lays out a concise vision for how Anglican Christians can become faithful disciples of Jesus Christ. Emphasizing the importance of the threefold rule of Daily Office, Holy Eucharist, and Private Devotion, the book shows how Anglican spirituality is rooted in the Book of Common Prayer and the Holy Scriptures. -In the Daily Office the Word of God is read and internalized through the illuminative work of the Holy Spirit as Christ the Teacher enlightens the minds of the ones praying so that the praying of the Scriptures is not for information but formation. -In the Holy Eucharist the communicant receives the grace necessary to live a spiritual life pleasing to God, allowing God to turn the key to their inner selves, transforming them from the inside out. -By personal devotion the disciple adopts those spiritual practices that make prayer effective and prepares for receiving the Holy Eucharist. In this way, disciples habituate themselves to the work of God. Lastly, book demonstrates that Anglican spiritualty is not an isolated or individualistic endeavor and that the Prayer Book's vision for spirituality empowers the church's mission.

  • MARKING THE CHURCH
    GREG PETERS
    More than one person has joked over the years that Evangelical believers do not have an ecclesiology. In one sense, that is absurd: Evangelical churches (especially if you include Pentecostals in that group) are some of the fastest-growing, most vibrant churches in the world. Evangelicals are proclaiming the gospel, praising the Lord, reading the Bible, and loving the poor. But...

  • REFORMING THE MONASTERY
    GREG PETERS
    Richard Froude wrote in 1833 to John Henry Newman that "the present state of things in England makes an opening for reviving the monastic system." Seemingly original words at the time. Yet, monasticism is one of the most ancient and enduring institutions of the Christian church, reaching its zenith during the High Middle Ages. Although medieval monasteries were regularly suppre...
