A discussion about the contemplative tradition and prayer practices, and features three Lutheran panelists: Pastor Bill Cwirla (Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Hacienda Heights, CA), Heather Choate Davis (Spiritual Director, CSFDM, M.A. in Theology, CUI), and Pastor Dominic Rivkin (Mission and Ministry Services, PSD of the LCMS).

This conversation took place in the courtyard of Wittenberg Hall, a Living-Learning Community at Concordia University Irvine. 

How do you empower the laity? You teach them to pray. If the laity knows how to pray, they’re not just getting an hour of food a week, that has to be competing against all the other inputs, all week long.
