Step Six involves compiling the material that has been recorded in Step Five, into a concise summary that we can offer to our Logopraxis Life Group when it meets. This summary is known in Logopraxis as a ‘submission.’ Typically, a submission includes the following… The number of the paragraph and the chosen piece of Text…
The Text is not just another thing the Lord flows through- it is THE thing. The approach to reading the Text is not the same as the way we might approach reading a secular work. In Logopraxis, the Text is everything; it is the Lord’s presence with us. This is meant quite literally, but isn’t…
Step 5 is where we begin to reflect. We collate our experiences of working with the Text and the task, in preparation for sharing this with others in our Logopraxis Life Group. The following questions are offered as a framework for reflecting on your experience of the Text… What happened when I remembered to implement my task? What…

Failure Our conditioning so far as setting goals where our external life in the world is concerned, can be described as an outcome-oriented approach. We set tasks to achieve outcomes and then measure our success or failure against the degree to which the outcome we have set, has been achieved or not. This generally works…
Outer life conditions Outer life conditions can be used as triggers or reminders to bring attention to our task. For example: When I am talking with others I will remember to (statement from your task goes here) When I am running late and get in my car I will (statement from task . . .)…
Step 3: Setting a Task (Part 1) Once we have completed the set reading and have made our selection of what we’ve “chosen” to work with, we come to Step 3. This step involves creating a task so that we have something specific to work with over the remaining period of the two-week Logopraxis cycle. What Step 3 asks of…
