SPIRITUAL RESOURCES
Two of the bedrock disciplines of the Christian life that are most important for spiritual growth are daily prayer and Bible reading.
There are many ways to pray, and many ways to read through scripture. Some people try to read the whole Bible in order, but often run into the pitfall of having long sections that are similar or repetitive. Here is a suggested order that offers a way of reading through the whole Bible with more variety. Below are some suggested links that draw on our Episcopal/Anglican prayer traditions, as well as traditions of others. They also include ways of reading and/or reflecting on scripture day by day.
