June 29, 2015: Worship Teaches How to Pray

Robert E. Webber

Because the church prays God’s story in the language of God’s voice, our contemplation is always anchored in the public voice of the church. Our personal contemplation is dependent on the faithfulness of the church to articulate for us what we can only say in a fumbling way. . . . The public prayer is the bridge to the personal prayer.
