Lynne Baab spoke to us on:
Spiritual Practices:
Why the growing interest? How do they “work”?
Lynne explained:
“In Western countries, people in a variety of traditions increasingly engage in spiritual practices such as fasting, sabbath keeping, meditation and contemplative prayer, praying with icons, stations of the cross, and intentional hospitality, to name only a few.
I have written about spiritual practices in the Christian tradition, and I’ll share what I’ve learned about the sources of the growing interest and the impact of practices on individuals and communities – drawing mostly on the Christian tradition, but also mentioning the role of spiritual practices in other religions and among people with no formal religious commitment”.
