  • Summary

  • Join Archbishop Stephen Cottrell as he answers 10 questions on how to pray, beginning at "What is prayer and how do I start?" and finishing with "Now I’ve started praying, how do I keep going?" "It still feels a little presumptuous to write on this subject. I don’t claim any great expertise. But I do hope that a muddled beginner like me might actually be the best sort of person to answer these questions, since there is little danger that I will ever get very far ahead of those I’m trying to lead." This podcast is adapted from the book "Prayer: Where to start and how to keep going" by Stephen Cottrell, available from Church House Publishing.
