Christian Practices Workshops from the Alban Institute
In 2008, Alban is rolling out a new series of Christian Practices Workshops. Each of these Alban seminars focuses on one of the specific, intentional ways that individuals and congregations bring their beliefs to life through their commitments they share and the things they do together. Prayer, worship, forgiveness, weekday spirituality, hospitality, compassion, or leadership in congregations and in daily life all are activities that deepen our relation to what we hold sacred. Such Christian practices “form a way of life” (through which faith takes form and becomes embodied in the world we share with others.)
Weekday Spirituality: Unleashing Faith in Daily Life
FEB. 29, 2008 - MARCH 1, 2008Facilitator: Wayne Floyd
Location: Marywood Center for Spirituality, Jacksonville, FloridaPeople of faith are hungry today for new approaches to affirm the connection between spiritual life as celebrated in Sunday worship or Sabbath services and the realities of the weekday world. In addition to their essential contributions to the vitality of congregational life, people engage in everyday expressions of faith that are the great untapped resource for the church of the 21st century. In their work settings, communities, and family lives, people are ready for their weekday spirituality to be discovered and unleashed, with the capacity to renew if not reinvent the church.
