Being God's Faithful Community: A Covenant of Spiritual Practices for Central Plains
|
This Covenant of Spiritual Practices was adopted by the delegates in June 2016.
By covenanting together to six specific Christian practices and to a process of discernment around disagreements, we hope to invigorate our discipleship, fellowship and witness as a conference. 1. Worship 2. Prayer, fasting and generous giving 3. Bible study in congregations and conference gatherings 4. Accept and offer hospitality 5. Bible study with neighbors and strangers 6. Peacemaking, loving-kindness and forgiveness Tim Detweiler has written a four-session study guide (at left) which you can order from Amazon.com; the cost is just $3.59 per booklet. Here it is in PDF form.
See the pages at AnabaptistFaithFormation.org under 'Christian Practices' for many how-to resources on the covenant practices.
