Seeking to make the Lord God Jesus Christ visible in our midst… "Where two or three are gathered together in My name there am I in the midst of them." (Matt. 18:20)

The structure of the Logopraxis Life Group meeting is based on a series of rounds designed to allow for only one person to speak at any given time without interruption from others. This structure is designed to promote a way of being with others that places people’s experience of the Word working in their life at the centre…
A short 2 min Q and A with references to these questions. Click below to see the video (2 mins)… When we get serious about exploring the inner world using truths from the Word to do that we soon discover that what actually presents as our mental life in the form of its emotions…
Logopraxis as we know encourages us to try to view the text as descriptive of our own states of mind. In other words it all has to do with structures and process of consciousness. Just remembering this or keeping it in the forefront of our mind when we are reading can be an aid to…
Attaching to an outcome DM Mar 2, 2008 Attaching to an outcome in this work leads to frustration, guilt, despair and other negative states because in this act we are working from a sense that we know what the outcome should be. This is another form of living in our imagination, making up what will…

The first is doctrine in our memory: our knowledge about spiritual realities. This doctrinal state includes a whole range of beliefs we readily subscribe to and feel aligned with. These beliefs…
“Charity” and “Church” defined by David Millar to AC LP group 19 Oct 2011 (email) edited, DM/GG 22 Oct 2013 Charity is the good that arises from the application of truths to the life of the mind. To love the neighbour is to love truth because it is true, and truth is the neighbour because…
I want to draw your attention to the motivational aspects related to inner work. We have all experienced times when we struggle to engage with the Text, and while it may be difficult to appreciate at the time this struggle does contain useful material for us. It’s a struggle that takes the form of a lack in…
The idea of loving our neighbour in an LP context is to only offer to the group what is directly related to our experience of engaging with the Word. The temptation is always there to find in an LP group meeting a ready-made platform for our proprium to share its cherished views on life. But, as soon…
