We have Mark Moore on the blog today adding to the May Conversation while responding to Tim Challies: -- I regularly practice lectio divina and find that it is essential to my spiritual formation. * Side Note: I’m sure that those who are critical of lectio divina are equally critical of what is regularly referred to as spiritual formation. But that’s it’s own post. Lectio divina is not dangerous. It is trusting. This is where Challies, and others like him, are badly mistaken about the nature of lectio divina – lectio divina is not about interpreting the text; it’s about the text interpreting me. When I approach the text in order to be formed by it, rather than simply informed by it, I am submitting myself to the text–the opposite of mastering it. -- Read the rest: missioalliance.org/is-lectio-divina-really-dangerous/
