The result has been a blog which is dedicated solely to the discussion of the use of rosaries or prayer beads in the Anglican Communion. More specifically it provides background material, examplar of prayers which can be used with the Anglican Rosary, anecdotes of how people use and experience praying with the Anglican Rosary as well a details regarding workshops on making and using Anglican Prayer Beads or Anglican Rosaries.

Please visit the Anglican Rosary Blog and join in on the discussion and sharing of resources on the use of Anglican Prayer Beads or Anglican Rosaries for personal or group prayer and devotion. I look forward to seeing you there.

Br William shares his reflections on Australian indigenous religion from a paper he wrote for this course.

Br William writes:

With the emergence of nature-focussed spirituality among searchers for meaning today, I think we could say that Aboriginal religion reflects not only the deep past of Western religion; it may reflect its future also.
