In August, both at Nether Springs and in our online contexts, we are using two sets of readings each day.
The scripture readings for Morning Prayer will support our reflections on ‘The Heart Alone with God’ which are taken from the Eata series in Celtic Daily Prayer, Book 2. These readings reflect the healthy tension of cell and community, of contemplation and action, that characterises Celtic and Desert spirituality. The scripture readings will also be shown on our website.
Our Evening Prayer will use the reflections ‘In The World’ which are taken from the Colman readings in Celtic Daily Prayer, Book 2. These reflections, drawn from writings by Barbara Brown Taylor and Charles Ringma, help us to see that there is no divide between sacred and secular, physical and spiritual, or the body and the soul.
Even though we will be using these readings, please do explore the other sets of readings in our prayer books, which you might find more pertinent to you during the month.
