Stumbling Stones on the Orthodox Road: Canned Prayers

Stumbling Stones on the Orthodox Road: Canned Prayers

Except for reciting the Lord’s Prayer, written prayers are virtually unknown in non-liturgical Christian churches. Isn’t it cheating, or somehow unspiritual, to use “canned prayers”? In this episode, we explore a few drawbacks of spontaneous prayer, and with help from some AFM content contributors (Dr. Jeannie Constantinou, Fr. Barnabas Powell, and others), we consider the benefits of praying with the wisdom of the Church. It’s not an either/or proposition, but both/and.
