This course lays out some preliminary considerations to spiritual practice for modern Johannites. Johannites engage in fairly typical forms of spiritual practice – the difference in practising as a Johannite lies primarily in what you understand yourself to be doing. This short course is an introduction to that understanding.
Topics
- Getting started
- One Prayer to Begin
- The Practice of the Name
- Next Steps
Pre-requisites: Introduction to Johannite Concepts and Theology is very strongly encouraged, but not enforced.
