His Own Words:

"Spend some time this week listening to contemplative music designed to quiet you, settle you, deepen you. (Compact discs and tapes from the Taize Community, John Michael Talbot, and the Monks of Weston Priory are especially helpful.)" From Renovare's Perspective Newsletter

What is the Taize Community?
"Taize is an ecumenical sung and silent participatory prayer service designed to achieve a contemplative state through music, song and silence."

THE RENOVARE STUDY BIBLE

Dallas Willard's latest project?

A Richard Foster Bible called the Renovare Study Bible, to be released by Harper SF in 2004. The Renovare "Bible" will focus on Foster's six disciplines (from his book Streams of Living Waters), one of which is the contemplative practice. Thomas Kelly is quoted in that book as saying:
"Deep within us all [all human beings] there is an amazing inner sanctuary of the soul, a holy place, a Divine Center"

Contemplative Spirituality: A belief system that uses ancient mystical practices to induce altered states of consciousness (the silence) and is rooted in mysticism and the occult but often wrapped in Christian terminology. The premise of contemplative spirituality is pantheistic (God is all) and panentheistic (God is in all). Common terms used for this movement are "spiritual formation," "the silence," "the stillness," "ancient-wisdom," "spiritual disciplines," and many others.

Spiritual Formation: A movement that has provided a platform and a channel through which contemplative prayer is entering the church. Find spiritual formation being used, and in nearly every case you will find contemplative spirituality. In fact, contemplative spirituality is the heartbeat of the spiritual formation movement.
