Description
In the midst of a culture steeped in various forms of spirituality, there is a great need to understand the contour and impact of a baptismal theology in today?s world. Using Luther?s writings on prayer and Bonhoeffer?s Life Together as primary resources, we will engage a theology of prayer both communal and individual discovering how, through communal prayer, a faith community is formed in a baptismal spirituality. Particular attention will be given to spiritual practice and pastoral leadership exploring various ?practices? or forms of spiritual discipline. This exploration however will be framed by the larger question concerning spirituality and how a baptismal spirituality shifts our understanding of leadership.
