Unwinding…is prayer escapable? inescapable?

23 November, 2007 in Life by Robyn | No comments

Sometimes I cannot get away from prayer. I am one who seeks to embody life and seek peace and mindfulness. I am one who, though trained to systematize theology, questions the very structure[s] of theological systems. I am one who values culture, even the culture of prayer. There is something about the rituals of culture. Here is one that caught my attention today…

Let me bless almighty God,whose power extends over sea and land,whose angels watch over all.

Let me study sacred books to calm my soul:I pray for peace,kneeling at heaven’s gates.

Let me do my daily work,gathering seaweed, catching fish,giving food to the poor.

Let me say my daily prayers,sometimes chanting, sometimes quiet,always thanking God.

Delightful it is to live on a peaceful isle, in a quiet cell,serving the King of kings.

iRobyn dot com is the virtual web space for me to spend time blogging|researching, an opportunity to post my reading lists, and a place to house my academic thoughts.

iRobyn is rooted in the theories and practices of theological feminism[s], seeks to be faithful to culture gazing and navel gazing, is commited to being a critical social player and critic of society. Additionally, the work found on this site is a thoughtful, intentional, and critical response to the intersections of culture, gender, race and class. I seek out narrative and want to celebrate the ritual of narrative in a variety of ways, from a theological perspective to gender, politics, & culture. This site is about creating and celebrating the passion of narrative which is all rooted in the passion of friendship. I begin & end at a place of Social Ethics via the discipline of Theology.
