Pioneer Prayer: Daily Quiet Times with God- Oxford Group Prayer Practices

Oxford Group members had no set formulas for their morning meditation or their prayer practices; but their focus was on finding and following the Guidance they needed and received from God. In this episode Fr. Bill reviews their approach to prayer and meditation with an eye toward using it to improve our 11th Step practice. Notes: To listen to a workshop, several are recorded on Recovery Tapers / Two Way Prayer Workshops: https://www.recoverytapers.com/two-way-prayer Good Morning by Dick B.: https://www.amazon.com/Good-Morning-Quiet-Watch-Meditation/dp/1885803222

I’m an Episcopal (Anglican) priest in recovery from alcoholism since 1972. I've spent my career in addiction treatment focused on 12-Step spirituality and exploring the pioneer history of AA. In discovering the lost 11th Step practice of Two Way Prayer, my program underwent a life-changing transformation. As Bill Wilson said, “ something was lost from AA when we stopped emphasizing the morning meditation." My mission now is helping people in 12-Step Fellowships explore a deeper understanding of spiritual practice and how it connects us to the "Great Reality" within. -Fr. Bill W.
