The Spirituality of the Book of Common Prayer with Karl Ruttan
March 16 | 10:10 AM - 11:00 AM
When the crafters of the Book of Common Prayer (BCP) set out to assemble an accessible guide to prayer and liturgy they were also intentional about putting together a resource that could shape disciples for a lifetime.
In this course, spiritual director, teacher, and writerĀ Karl RuttanĀ shows us how the Book of Common Prayer can be used to deepen our spiritual lives. It’s called ‘The Spirituality of the Book of Common Prayer.’ Karl begins by telling us how the BCP serves as a handbook for holiness. He then walks us through its origins in Benedictine spirituality. He also shows us how to use the Daily Offices, or daily prayer liturgies for morning and evening prayer. Karl ends by showing us how we might use the Baptismal Covenant as a foundation for a rule of life.
This Prayer Book series is brought to us by our partners at Bexley Seabury Federation, an Episcopal center for learning and development. Bexley offers online and in-person classes for everyone at its Chicago, IL and Columbus, OH campuses. For more information visitĀ www.bexleyseabury.edu
