This week we prayed the collect for Proper 20 and asked each other “what is a spiritual discipline?” We  talked  first about giving things up for Lent, and how that changed our relationship to those things we abstained from. We covered things we take on as well; such as praying Morning Prayer in community during Advent and Lent at St. John’s. Finally, we talk about what makes a discipline spiritual! Notes:1. The collect this week was Collect for Proper 20 from Book of Common Prayer, p. 234 2. Ben referenced James 3. The collect for this week is based on Colossians 4. There are two primary types of disciplines: Abstinence, or giving something up, and, engagement, taking something on. Join us next week as we dive deeper into the spiritual discipline of fasting!
