associated with Saints Francis and Clare of Assisi, giving participants opportunities to connect imaginatively with creation. Being together with God and one another through beautiful hikes, teaching times, and reflective activities will lead participants to envision and express something of the spirit of Francis and Clare in their own lives and contexts. Prayer services will include liturgies of the Episcopal Church and original sung prayer composed by Charles Hulin.
Dr. Charles Hulin
There’s a prayer that most of us haven’t prayed yet. Not because we don’t know the words—but because we’re not sure we’re ready for what God might say back.
Jon Davis calls it Dangerous Prayer. It’s the prayer of surrender, of open-handed willingness, of saying to God not just “Here is my request” but “Here is my life.” These are the prayers that catalyze transformation. They are also the prayers that demand something of us.
Prayer doesn’t have to be complicated. But honest prayer—the kind that opens you fully to God’s will—has a way of rearranging your life.
In Dangerous Prayer, Jon Davis draws on decades of pastoral ministry, the ancient contemplative wisdom of the Celtic tradition, and his own story of formation and surrender to explore what happens when we stop managing our prayers and start meaning them. Through the framework of Revelation, Encounter, and Transformation, Davis traces the lives of biblical saints and spiritual forebears who prayed bold prayers and found themselves changed from the inside out..png)
