Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)
Think about these questions as we prepare for this week's readings.
1. What does it mean to pray without ceasing? Or to give thanks in all circumstances? How would life be different if we turned every worry into a prayer? What keeps us from doing this?
2. What makes the English Reformation different from the one that occurred in mainland Europe? What is meant by the term Via Media? What purpose was served by forging a new expression of the Christian faith?
3. What is the three legged stool of Anglicanism?
4. How would you define lex orandi, lex credendi? What are its practical implications?
