COMMON PRAYER

Shane Claiborne, Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, and Enuma Okoro have a new book out.  It is COMMON PRAYER.  After years of liturgical research, this team has produced a new staple for the spiritual diet. This prayerbook will be gobbled up by a generation of Jesus-Lovers that crave for the simple, stable routine of ancient and future prayer.  People will chew on the grains that have been ground into this book and they will find the sustenance for soul and body. This is what every believer is clambering for - taking the ancient and making it NEW.  The whole spiritual journey is about making all things new - in JESUS - and that is what these prayers will do for us.  They will give us a measured meeting place for encountering the LIVING GOD.

The emergent, conspiring, new monastic collection of desert dwelling fools for Jesus - the CHURCH - must always be about the task of making what happened yesterday into a present reality.  We are remembering GOD into the NOW.  These prayers are a part of the spiritual landscape and portions of the spiritual dialog.
