Prayer Room obscurity small town little house nameless reputation of irresistible roof splitting LOVE jams every square inch WORDS transfiguring the molecular properties of air and water and people radiating religion-shredding holiness beautiful simple unstoppable . . . . . Last Monday night a new door opened into an old room-- we began a 7 year journey into unceasing prayer at Asbury Seminary. The movement is forceful, fledgling and fragile. There is a sense of the brooding of the Holy Spirit over it-- as he brooded over the waters of chaos in the beginning. We consecrated the Fletcher Prayer Chapel on our campus in Wilmore as the prayer room. As is our practice, each semester we release a Scripture Reader for the community as way of reading a common text together each day. (if you want a copy comment me with your mailing address and we will get you one in the mail Monday). Anyhow, Friday's reading was from mark 2:1-12-- the healing of the paralytic who was lowered through the roof. You can re-read the passage here. Following that was this fabulous word from Julian of Norwich which I don't have time to enter in now-- but hopefully later. As I read the text and the reading and thought about our prayer room in those terms-- the poetry above spilled out onto the page. posted by John David Walt | at 9/16/2006 08:25:00 AM
