Does anyone know anything about "lectio devina"??? This is a type of meditating on Scripture that is promoted in the emergent church circles and authors like Richard Foster and stems from the RCC.

I have "red flags" about it because it's tied in with contemplative prayer which doesn't sit right with me. But I just found out that my old InterVarsity leader practices this now (this is because she's into Foster) and now I'm more interested in the details of this.

Other than being a practice from the Catholic church, does anyone happen to know any details about this and do you have any "red flags" about it like me??

Don't have any red flags (other than the usual ones about RCC practices) but here is a link to what they do: Lectio Divina. Haven't read it all myself but I'm suppose to be headed for bed not staying up here reading forums. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bananas.gif" alt="" />

If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself. Augustine of Hippo
