\"DSCN1020\"<\/a>Spiritual practices and disciplines have gained a lot\u00a0of attention in the mainline church over these last few years. Many are rediscovering\u00a0the spiritual practices of an\u00a0earlier church and in testing out these practices people are discovering through the ritual of disciplined prayer, reading of scripture and meditation they are able to experience God in new and meaning-filled ways. \u00a0In this workshop\/ experience we will go back further than the early or medieval Christian Church and\u00a0rediscover\u00a0some of the spiritual practices of our Jewish heritage.<\/p>\n

Mudhouse Sabbath<\/em> by Lauren F. Winner has inspired this exploration of Jewish spiritual practices. Following her conversion to Christianity from Orthodox Judaism, Winner found herself missing the richness of the traditional spiritual practices of her Jewish heritage. She wrote Mudhouse Sabbath<\/em> to reconsider these meaning-filled practices through a Christian lens inviting readers to transform the way the view the world and God. \u00a0Practices of Sabbath Keeping, Hospitality, Mourning, and Fasting are among the eleven practices explored in her book.<\/p>\n

In this workshop I have selected five of the spiritual practices she considers in her book. \u00a0Each practice can be explored through a learning centre as an individual or as a group. Each spiritual practice is considered through handouts outlining background information, questions for reflection and\/or discussion, and detailed instructions for an activity which has been designed to invite participants to ‘test out’ the practice before leaving the centre and moving on to consider another practice. Participants can explore as many or as few practices as they wish, taking all the time they need to experience the practice as fully as needed to repeat it at home. Multiple copies of the files can be photocopied for participants to take them home and reinforce the practice as they wish.<\/p>\n

You will find five individual attachments included, one per centre. In each attachment you will find a supply list for the centre, a sheet of condensed background information, a sheet of questions for individuals to reflect upon or the group to discuss, and instructions for the activity(ies) that go with that practice. \u00a0Choose to use all the centres,or explore one each time you gather.<\/p>\n

I hope that you will find new ways of worshiping and glorifying God through these practices.\"DSCN1025\"<\/a><\/p>\n
