Epiphany: Prayer as Struggle and Temptation

The second of two Epiphany sessions on prayer, held at the School of Theology and Prayer, at Church of the Ascension and Saint Agnes in Washington D.C.. In this session, we turn to the issue of temptation and disturbance in prayer, and to the ordering of desires that prayer engenders. We will focus on the gospel Temptation narratives (in anticipation of Lent), and on Paul's extraordinary discussion of Christian prayer in Romans 8. Taught by: Rev'd Professor Sarah Coakley. Coakley was formerly Norris-Hulse Professor at the University of Cambridge. She has recently joined the Episcopal Parish of Ascension and St. Agnes as an assisting priest and theologian-in-residence.
