A Time Apart
Date: Apr 29, 2006

Spiritual Disciplines and the Academic Life

From the conference brochure:

Today's academic life is both stimulating and increasingly high-pressured. Research, teaching, securing grants, and institutional service seem to continually ratchet upwards.

How does the practice of spiritual disciplines empower us to live with Christ in this environment? Practicing spiritual disciplines may simply suggest one more item for a long list of priorities — even one more thing about which to feel guilty.

A different way of thinking about spiritual disciplines is to consider them gifts of God — given to his people to help bring order to our chaotic lives and to give us abundant life.

On April 29, we'll consider two disciplines:

Lectio divina — a practice of reflective reading and listening to Scripture that helps us hear it afresh as God's word to us.

Memoir writing — an experience that helps us reflect on how God is speaking and working in our life experiences.

For more information and to register, see the conference brochure.
