   Yes a good article. In many ways it gives validity to the monastic contemplative life which being largely RC made it possibly of little worth to southern Irish Brethren Christians, I suspect. The Anglicans, probably, would be more attuned to the concept. The exception, but often a rarity, would be a good old fashioned PB B of B service, with times of quiet linked by a thought, hymn or reading. We don’t have anything similar these days other than a good prayer meeting, perhaps. Most tend to be a focused shopping list, but many of the epistles itemise the need to pray for many individuals or situations. It’s all a matter of balance.
