Episode 3: Devotion beyond the office 1 - The Jesus Prayer and Lectio Divina
Manage episode 407339947 series 3559501
This week’s episode is more personal in nature as we discuss our own devotional practices beyond the daily office, focussing specifically on the Jesus Prayer (Matthew) and Gospel-Based Discipleship (a form of lectio divina, Jonathan). Our journey will stretch back in time to Origen in the 200s, and touch on some late antique and medieval monks besides some more modern influences related to their movements, including Anglican Renewal Ministries.
