Praying the Scriptures: Understanding Lectio Divina
Many parishioners appreciated reading through Luke's Gospel in Advent and Mark's Gospel in Lent and have asked for guidance in how best to approach their daily reading of the Bible. A session on Lectio Divina, the prayerful reading of Scripture, has been arranged for Tuesday, 30th September at 7pm in Syderstone Church. What is Lectio Divina? See this link for a page on how Lectio Divina differs from other forms of engaging with the Bible.
