Primitive Christianity Revived, Again
Hello: My family and I have been going to a Friends meeting about once a month for about 6 months-the closest one is 26 miles away-we like it. Although my wife and I were born and brought up as Lutherans, I have been a Unitarian for the lost 20 yrs aprox. I am out of the habit of prayer-but I know that many find it a good way to recharge their spiritual batteries. I have been praying for 2 min per day- I'm not sure who or what I pray to or what to pray for- so I'm been asking the Light- which I see as the goodness that is in everyone to fill me and then stay silent for awhile-in a quiet private room free on distractions.
Also noted online I think it was Bill maher or someone who kids around who kiddingly compared Quaker Meetings to riding on a NYC bus-everyone sitting in silence-thanks Rich from Long Island NY
Hello, Richard Morgan! I believe that the Great" I Am" will hear your prayers, even if you aren't sure who He is or how to connect with Him. I think it would help if you tried reading the Bible; see the book *The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Bible* http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Idiots-Guide-Bible-Third/dp/15925738...
Hope this helps!
I found another book which should be of interest; it is *Christian Prayer for Dummies* See http://www.amazon.com/Christian-Prayer-Dummies-Richard-Wagner/produ...
Neither the "Idiot" or "Dummies" in the two aforementioned titles is meant to reflect on the intelligence of readers. I guess the words indicate that the titles are part of a couple of series of "how to" books for those needing more information about the topics addressed.
I have The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Bible and like it very much. I do not have the Christian Prayer for Dummies (yet), but it gets great reviews on Amazon.com.
