Listening Together

by Muthuraj Swamy, Stephen Spencer

Overview

With 85 million members in more than 165 countries, the Anglican Communion represents a wide variety of opinions on mission, theology, and how to live and act as God's people. Listening Together focuses on the renewal of prayer and the religious life, with stories and reflections from faithful leaders from across the Communion.

"Nothing is more important to our relationship with God than prayer through Jesus Christ," says Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury. "Renewal of the religious life and renewal of prayer go hand in hand: There will not be one without the other. It is about letting God into every last part of our life."

Listening Together is the third of a three-book series to help Anglicans around the world discuss shared challenges and opportunities for mission and ministry.
