Practice makes perfect
Sanctification, the process of being transformed toward holiness, remains a central telos (goal) of many Christian traditions.And spiritual disciplines--the ways we practice our faith and perfect our ability to live continuously in the presence of God--have always been a central means of cooperating in God's transformation of our lives.
There's no richer source of information on contemporary spiritual disciplines than the Valparaiso Project on the Education and Formation of People in Faith.
Designed to support "people who yearn to live in ways that are attentive to the active presence of God and supportive of the well-being of themselves, others, and the world," the project seeks to "develop resources to help contemporary people live the Christian faith with vitality and integrity in changing times."
Bringing the wisdom of Christian tradition to bear on the ways we live out faith in daily life, the project's website features a dozen or more contemporary spiritual disciplines, a grant program, plus a library of articles and sermons on "practicing our faith."
