It's not just let's go through the steps for 50, 60 years and then start all over again and back. No, it's a way of living, living in an excited way, you know, that there's energy flowing into your prayer life, that there's love and peace and goodness emanating from the work that you're doing in the world.
Have you ever wondered why some spiritual practices fade into obscurity, even when they hold the potential for profound impact? In this episode, Father Bill W., an Episcopal priest who has been sober since 1972, sheds light on the often-overlooked practice of Two Way Prayer. This method, once a cornerstone for early members of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), has seen a resurgence thanks to Father Bill's dedication to uncovering its roots and relevance today.
He delves into why the connection to the Oxford Group was downplayed in AA's Big Book and how understanding this history can breathe new life into Step Eleven. With quotations from 'Pass It On', Father Bill paints a vivid picture of how Two Way Prayer can transform one's spiritual journey in recovery. Whether you're in a 12-step program or simply exploring spiritual practices, this episode offers rich insights and practical advice to deepen your connection to the 'Great Reality' within.
