Rediscovering Historical Spiritual Practices in Christianity
The chapter explores the impact of ahistoricism on the church, leading to a lack of understanding and appreciation of historical spiritual and intellectual practices within Christianity. It discusses the importance of embracing historical practices like night vigils, communal reading during meals, and meditation to combat the prevailing cultural idols of individualism and comfort in modern Christianity. Drawing inspiration from an Anglican community in the 17th century, the chapter highlights the significance of these practices and their enriching nature in a society dominated by distractions.
