Prayer Beads for Protestants October 23, 2008
Posted by Pastor Karen in : Events , trackbackJodi MacLean
In this class we will explore yet another ancient prayer practice, one that is lately being taken up by Protestants. We’ll learn the symbolism of prayer beads and how to use them in your own prayer discipline. Worried about the Reformers warnings on meaningless trinkets and “vain repetition”? Have no fear! Amid the distractions of modern life, beads can help us seek God in a deliberate and meditative way, inviting the kind of focused, intentional praying that God honors. Nan Lewis Doerr’s prayer guide Praying with Beads: Daily Prayers for the Christian Year will be available for $9.50.

The first class was fascinating. I had no idea how many religious traditions used prayer beads.
