This Day

Description

Dr. Laurence Stookey of Wesley Seminary has created this resource  to serve as a daily prayer book for the home and personal use. The book is also designed for use by individuals participating in a Wesleyan class meeting in conjunction with  the Sunday morning experience  or a week-day meeting.  The unique aspect of this program lies in its incorporation of the practice of daily prayer  and accountability  within  the Sunday morning adult education  program . In addition to activities conducted on Sunday, class members will participate in ordered daily prayer within the Wesleyan spirit. This Day contain s  thirty-one forms of prayer , one  for each day of the month drawn from: John Wesley's 1738 Forms of Prayer for Every Day of the Week, The 1784 Order for Morning Prayer, The United Methodist Book of Worship, The Book of Common Prayer, The IONA and Taize Communities, the Benedictine tradition, the Eastern Orthodox tradition, and contemporary sources. This resource is not UM specific and is  based on the revised common lectionary  and the daily lectionary of the Book of Common Prayer .
