Hearing God in the silence

Deliberately Diverse represents the opinions of a group of Taylor friends who never completely agree about anything but enjoy diverse discussions.

In the Gospels, the Greek word “therapeia” is often translated as healing or curing. In early Greek, it meant service to the gods which included things such as worship and maintaining the temples. Later it came to mean service the gods could render to people or communities, including reparation of our bodies and souls and communities.

The Rev. Thomas Keating describes “divine therapy” as a lifelong process of inner healing and spiritual growth that occurs when we submit to God’s presence through practices such as Centering Prayer.
