LUTHERAN CHURCH MISSOURI SYNOD: COMMISSION ON MINISTERIAL GROWTH ENDORSES CONTEMPLATIVE/CENTERING PRAYER »

Apprising Ministries has warned in posts e.g. Calvinist Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism? and Disciplines To Deception In Southern Baptist Convention that for years now Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) as taught by Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster along with his spiritual twin and Southern Baptist minister Dallas Willard has been rapidly spreading throughout mainstream evangelicalism under the guise of spurious Spiritual Formation.
