- W2315684740 abstract "The assignment I have is not only difficult but dangerous. The question that first comes to mind is what right or authority does one criticize, analyze, or, indeed, even comment upon the spiritual practice of another? In the spiritual realm, no person's experience is normative. One of the great tragedies of religious history is that so many have claimed normative experience and then attempted to impose it, often by force, on others. (Those of privileged to hear Rita Gross' plenary address at the SBCS meeting in the summer of 1992 in Boston were allowed to share the painful results of such behavior.) So bear in mind that the following remarks are no more than the personal response of woman who hopes that, if on trial, there would be enough evidence to convict her of being Christian. The question posed by Professor Terry Muck to respondents to the presentations on Dual Buddhist-Christian Practice given in 1991 was Is this something I could engage in? My answer is no. Let me supply the context from which my response comes. I admit to being one of those persons who holds to the traditional Christian insistence on clearly demarcated religious identity. This probably makes me what Sallie King has called a holdover from .. . now outdated map.2 My map may be old, but it seems to have given quite few people accurate coordinates for travel in the world of the spirit! Since two of the papers in 1991 were about prayer, my assumptions about will give sense of the context from which I speak. First, in the Christian tradition, begins with God's initiative: first loved us (1 John 4:19). Prayer occurs as the human response to being creature of God with whom God desires relationship. Second, is not saying prayers or engaging in rituals. It is the all-consuming desire to turn one's essential Being toward God. In the words of Simone Weil, prayer consists of attention. It is the orientation of all the attention of which the soul is capable toward God.3 Third, and finally, self in the sense of isolated and egotistical individuality is precisely the idol which Christian must destroy.
