What is a Contemplative Christian? Contemplative Christian spirituality is a popular theme in books, literature and media these days. The term “contemplative prayer” can mean any number of things, much like the term “Christian” touches different people in different ways. Merriam-Webster defines contemplation as “concentration on spiritual things as a form of private devotion; a state of mystical awareness of God’s being; an act of considering with attention; the act of regarding steadily.”
This site is an offering…an exploration of contemplative prayer from a Protestant perspective, but not limited as such. The devotions shared here come from my own journey through life with Christ, which is best described as “mere” Christianity…to borrow a term from C.S. Lewis. (I’ve written fairly exhaustively of my theological positions in the About page, if you’re curious.) The divisions present in the church today, between Catholic and Protestant, conservative and liberal, stoic and pentecostal, melt away in the common experience of grace. Contemplative prayer has been an experience of grace for me, and so these contemplative devotions are offered forth to you…so that we might share this journey together for a while.
