It slows my mind down and like you I think that written prayers and liturgy can be very powerful and concentrated. I'm reading a book By Anglican Vicar Warren "An affair of the Heart" and another one on Christian mindfulness (A book of Sparks by Lambert) where they quote from the Anglican book of Common Prayer and liturgy. I think following written prayers can be very helpful. However having been in various charismatic churches and more structured churches (Anglican etc.) I have to say I rarely find the sense of community and family that were there for me in sickness, that I found in that church we grew up in. I'm learning not to throw the baby out with the bath water. i.e. every church denomination has its strengths and weaknesses. No where is perfect.Viv Simkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12779238448721720626noreply@blogger.com
