  • SF 551: Contemporary Prayer Movements

    1.00 Credits
    Asbury Theological Seminary

    Johnson, Seamands In 1991, Margaret M. Poloma and George H. Gallup Jr., published their book, Varieties of Prayer. It was a study of a Gallup survey on Religion in American Life. Specifically, it examined the importance of prayer in the lives of Americans. The authors observed: "It is. accurate to say that most Americans, while believing in prayer, are desperately in need of help in understanding and practicing prayer." In the decade since those words were written, a "prayer movement" has emerged in North America with multifaceted expressions including: national prayer coalitions, united prayer events, churches with prayer coordinators or "prayer pastors," and a multitude of prayer ministries. Most are committed to helping people understand prayer. We believe that it is important for seminarians to have the opportunity to hear from national and international leaders in the prayer movement in order to discover what is happening "in the field," and experience intensive teaching on prayer, to reflect theologically on the ideas presented, and to re spond to God's invitation to pray. Each year we invite a prayer leader to campus for a workshop and use this as an opportunity for this kind of creative engagement. May be
