Dr. Anne Walker Sims is a United Methodist elder, the spouse of a disabled United Methodist elder, and the proud pet parent of two dogs who remind her daily of the unconditional love of God and the need to laugh regularly. She is the pastor of Oriental UMC in beautiful Oriental, NC, and shamelessly shares photos of the \u201cSailboat Capital of North Carolina\u201d often on Facebook. Anne has flirted with contemplative practices her entire life, despite being a strong extrovert with ADD. Building on a quarter century of ministry experience, a doctoral dissertation on community building in divided settings, and the knowledge that there is something valuable in contemplation if she could only figure out how to settle down to do it, she began to develop a personal contemplative spiritual practice toolbox (both virtual and physical) to help her grow in her faith and support her mental and physical health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anne has a Masters of Divinity from Duke Divinity School and a Doctor of Ministry from Drew Theological School. In 25 years of ministry, she\u2019s led numerous Bible studies and book groups, led workshops and retreats on&nbsp;praying&nbsp;with labyrinths,&nbsp;prayer&nbsp;beads, through journaling and art, lectio divina, and more, developed&nbsp;prayer&nbsp;stations and liturgical arts experiences for worship, and pastored urban and rural congregations. She\u2019s passionate about developing and deepening relationships between people and God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/nccumc.org\/leadership\/event\/string-of-prayers-contemplating-protestant-prayer-beads\/\">Register Now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many different traditions have used\u00a0prayer\u00a0beads\u00a0over the millennia, with the Catholic rosary the most well-known in Christian practice.
