In prayer Christians address the triune God - one God in three persons, the God of holiness, love, beauty, and power.

In this video-taped speech, Prof. John Witvliet explores the richness and joy in praying to the Triune God--one God in three persons, the God of holiness, love, beauty, and power. God is the One who perfects and mediates our praise and petitions.

This speech was given at the Prayer Summit, held April 2012, in Los Angles, CA.

Receptive Ecumenism in Neighborhoods, Soccer Fields, and Workplaces

This session will explore how to talk about differences in Catholic and Protestant worship. Every time we talk with a neighbor, teammate, or coworker from a different Christian tradition about what we do in worship and why, we are practicing liturgical theology. When marked by both conviction and humility, these conversations have rich potential for building holy friendships and deepening our worship of God. Yet they can also backfire, perpetuating stereotypes and leaving us unsure about the point of common practices. Come to this session to learn from veteran participants in both formal ecumenical dialogues and informal neighborhood conversations about how we can engage with believers across the Protestant-Catholic divide in constructive and healing ways.
