I was talking to an anglican priest a couple of months ago who was friends with Richard Foster when he wrote his book on spiritual disciplines ("Celebration of Discipline"). They were going for a walk one day (before the book was published) and Richard Foster was excitedly telling him all about the things that he was learning about spiritual disciplines. The priest was happy that Mr. Foster had discovered these time-honoured traditions- but at the same time, he kind of felt bad that he had had to discover them at all. There are places in the world (thankfully) where Christians are taught spiritual disciplines from the time they are children. The priest was right to feel bad for him. And I feel bad for my own nation as well. Shout it from the rooftops indeed. Good post.Coffee Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11629723569672825993noreply@blogger.com
