writes – Today I want to draw attention to three online (written) interviews:
A 2009 Interview with Fr. Thomas Keating – here.
A June 2010 two part interview on prayer with Ken Wilson – part 1 and part 2.
A May 2010 four-part interview with Stanley Hauerwas here, here, here, and here.
Here’s a great quote from his memoir that gets at an important theme, which for me links these three interviews – prayer.
BRUEGGEMAN ON WHY, IN THE END, PRAYER IS THE KEY: “…I have spent a lifetime learning how to pray. Yet I did not
become a theologian to learn how to pray. I became a theologian because I found
the work of theology so compelling. Along the way, I discovered that the work
of theology is the work of prayer. …. I confess, however, that prayer still
never comes easy for me. But I hold no conviction more determinatively than
that the belief in prayer names how God becomes present to us and how we can
participate in that presence by praying for others…”
