What We Need is Here: Deepening Our Availability to God
Prayer is not so much what we do, but what God does in us. Our part is opening ourselves to be more deeply available to the God who is already at work. This series of talks will explore ways of prayer that help us to be increasingly available and attentive to the God who is always offering Godself to us. The talks will be related to—but will not duplicate—the practices that Roger explored in his book What We Need Is Here: Practicing the Heart of Christian Spirituality.
