Book Synopsis Augustine Baker: Frontiers of the Spirit by : Victor de Waal
Download or read book Augustine Baker: Frontiers of the Spirit written by Victor de Waal and published by SLG Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fairacres Publication 161 David Augustine Baker (1575-1641), Welshman, lawyer, Benedictine monk and priest, was an individualist who lived in a number of boundary situations – geographical, linguistic, cultural, religious – and often crossed frontiers. He encouraged Christians to make their home on the borderlands between this world and the next. In this introduction to Dom Augustine Baker’s life and teaching, we hear his own voice directly through the use of extracts from ‘Holy Wisdom’ and other writings. His teaching that spiritual direction, reading and prayer are of help to us on the journey towards the ‘vision of God’ remains pertinent today.

Book Synopsis Prayer and the Struggle Against Evil by : Alexander Ryrie
Download or read book Prayer and the Struggle Against Evil written by Alexander Ryrie and published by SLG Press. This book was released on 2021-08-09 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fairacres Publications 190 None of us need reminding that terrible situations exist and horrific events happen in the world around us. We need only to open our newspapers or turn on our televisions to hear of war and violence, or situations of injustice and oppression, or acts of crime or terrorism. When we are confronted by such things, the word ‘evil’ comes readily to our lips. We sense that events and situations of this kind are not just unfortunate and regrettable: they have a different character which we can only describe as evil. Such evil deeds and situations have been a part of human life throughout history, and we seem to be unable to do anything about them. We can, and indeed should act, however, and we can pray. This book asks us to confront the reality of evil in the world and use our ability to change the world around us with the power of prayer.

Download or read book Touchpapers written by and published by SLG Press. This book was released on 2023-05-30 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SLG Press Contemplative Poetry 11 This anthology of thoughts seeks to be a various and portable nudger into the corners, plains and hilltops of all kinds of what might be called Wisdom. The poems and extracts selected here may be enough in themselves; kickers-on to bigger, longer, things, or no; touchpapers to bright thoughts either related or, in the end, unrelated to them; or a spur to read more of the same, be it poems or poets, or more writing of the thinking kind, philosophers and parsons. This collection of snippets is intended to stimulate, lead on to more. It is less an anthology, and more a trigger, leading the reader, as they dip and choose, read and leave, to whatever depth of thought in whatever area they might choose.

For Abba Zosimas, obedience to the gospel implies a radical disposition of love for the neighbour in every thought, word and action. This is the key to freedom and joy.
Book Synopsis Identity and Ritual by : Alan Griffiths
Download or read book Identity and Ritual written by Alan Griffiths and published by SLG Press. This book was released on 2021-04-18 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fairacres Publications 188 In two thought-provoking essays Canon Griffiths reminds us that our identity as Christians is expressed through our language and focussed by the patterns of liturgical ritual that are in turn reflected in the architecture of the Christian church. Christian identity is particularly evident in the Eucharist and in our historical urge to keep watch in prayer, the practice of ‘vigil’, which plays such a prominent role in contemporary culture. By understanding our identity and our use of rituals we are able to step outside the constraints of time and proclaim that we are ready to respond to God when He reaches out to us.In two thought-provoking essays Canon Griffiths reminds us that our identity as Christians is expressed through our language and focussed by the patterns of liturgical ritual that are in turn reflected in the architecture of the Christian church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fairacres Publications 206 I have conversations with people about how they pray the Jesus Prayer as they walk the city streets, as they travel on buses or on the Tube, as they cycle, or as they sit at home. From these experiences I have come more and more to see the Jesus Prayer as a way of praying well suited to urban life; a form of attentiveness practice that can help us to grow in God-experience amid the changes and chances of metropolitan living. This book explains the prayer, its ethos, and how to begin to practise it in daily life.
Book Synopsis This Far Place by : Gabriela Mistral
Download or read book This Far Place written by Gabriela Mistral and published by SLG Press. This book was released on with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SLG Press Contemplative Poetry 8 In 1945 Gabriela Mistral became the first Latin American author to be awarded a Nobel Prize. She was a passionate advocate for many disadvantaged groups in her native Chile, but particularly women and children living in poverty and unable to access education that might help them to improve their lives. She spent much of her life as a teacher, but her poetry reflects the people she met and the situations she encountered through her life. It speaks of a deep empathy with those around her, and of great strength of faith. Her legacy is continued by the many foundations and schools set up in her name. Gallas’s translations bring Mistral’s words to English-speaking audiences, creating new and beautiful works in the canon of literature by Christian poets.

Dumitru St?niloae shows how the deepest meaning of suffering is revealed in Christ’s unconditional acceptance of the Cross. There we see the power of God’s love which transfigures all suffering, so that the Cross becomes the symbol of victorious love.
Book Synopsis Love Will Come with Fire by : Sisters of the Love of God
Download or read book Love Will Come with Fire written by Sisters of the Love of God and published by SLG Press. This book was released on 2023-05-30 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SLG Press Contemplative Poetry 10 This is a collection of personal reflections on faith and the struggle to meet and serve God that is part of our Christian journey. Here there are no fractured poetic experiments except in the faith-struggle itself, that is, the thinking, which is the accomplishment and power of religious poetry, just as it is of religious life. This struggle is manifest here, expressed by different people with different impulses to write. Here, the little, the personal and the tightly-imagined have the most effect. The transfer of faith, doubt, struggle, praise, prayer into poetry is hard – and that struggle too is part of this collection.
Book Synopsis Julian Reconsidered by : Sister Benedicta Ward SLG
Download or read book Julian Reconsidered written by Sister Benedicta Ward SLG and published by SLG Press. This book was released on 2024-08-29 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fairacres Publications 106 Sometimes the message of optimism and hope of the fourteenth-century writer Julian of Norwich is understood rather superficially. Two lectures, given at her Shrine in Norwich, which can assist our understanding of her theology are reproduced here. Kenneth Leech shows how Julian can help us to recover a sense of the goodness of creation, and he challenges superficial interpretations of her saying that ‘all shall be well’. Sister Benedicta reconsiders Julian in the light of the solitary tradition and contemporary medieval documents, suggesting that Julian may have been a widow who had borne a child.

Book Synopsis Zeal for the Faith by : Tony Dickinson
Download or read book Zeal for the Faith written by Tony Dickinson and published by SLG Press. This book was released on 2024-09-30 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fairacres Publications 221 In recent years relations between Christians and Muslims have been reduced, in much popular discourse, to a simple, and often polarized, opposition. Historically the relationship between these two Abrahamic faiths has been much more nuanced and complex. In this book, Tony Dickinson explores some of the complexities, both in Christian-Muslim relations and within Islam, from the earliest years of Muhammad’s prophetic activity until the controversies and conflicts of the present, and suggests some possible approaches to contemporary inter-faith dialogue.
Book Synopsis God Under my Roof: Celtic Songs and Blessings by : Esther de Waal
Download or read book God Under my Roof: Celtic Songs and Blessings written by Esther de Waal and published by SLG Press. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IN THIS introduction to songs and blessings collected from the oral tradition of the Hebrides, Esther de Waal uses the poems themselves to evoke a vision of the wholeness of life. We are seen to belong to a common creation, responsible for the natural world but essentially at peace with it; secure in the knowledge that wherever we go we are under God’s heaven, and that God can be found close at hand, under our very roofs. We are encouraged to make some of the prayers included here our own, to find ourselves befriended by God and the saints as we talk to them with unforced simplicity and candour. So we discover that ‘it is through the rites of ordinariness that the rhythm of eternity penetrates’ our days and nights.
Book Synopsis Four Ways to the Cross by : Tony Dickinson
Download or read book Four Ways to the Cross written by Tony Dickinson and published by SLG Press. This book was released on 2022-03-20 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fairacres Publications 195 Most of us live, in our prayers and our worship, and in our understanding of Christian discipleship, with one Passion story. We take incidents from the four Gospel accounts of the suffering and death of Jesus and weave them into a single ‘harmonized’ whole. In this essay, Tony Dickinson unravels these four narrative strands to reveal an understanding of the events that shape each one. He also examines how each account is influenced by the sacred writings of Israel, especially the Psalms.
