In 1998, Richard J. Foster published Streams of Living Water: Essential Practices from the Six Great Traditions of Christian Faith, a landmark work illuminating the six enduring themes of the Christian life “in the midst of constantly evolving faith.” This September, Michael Cava is facilitating a Bible Study briefly exploring the six traditions using the Scriptures as well as the reflections and devotions from Christian saints and writers from the past. Together, with the guidance of Foster and his colleagues at Renovaré, we will sift through the selected writings from a handful of our spiritual parents, study the Scriptures, and reflect on how to exercise and integrate the traditions into our lives.

The study will meet via Zoom for the four Thursdays of September, beginning September 8 at 6.30pm each time, and preceded by Evening Prayer at 6.00pm.

September 8: The Prayer-Filled Life

September 15: The Virtuous Life and Spirit-Empowered Life

September 22: The Compassionate Life and Word-Centered Life

September 29: The Sacramental Life.

The study meets via Zoom (Click here for link), and for anyone interested there will be some optional devotionals available before each meeting. To sign up, send questions, or request the optional readings beforehand, you can reach Michael at mcdcava@gmail.com.
