Whether we are conscious of them or not, we all have rules (rhythms and rituals) for living. The real questions, then, are whether we are aware of the rules by which we live and whether these rules lead us to a richer, fuller life.
Some time will be spent exploring the significance of rules (what one contemporary author calls “trellises” for faithful living) across the life of the church. We will focus on the nature and content of such rules for our contemporary life and living as apprentices of Christ, as well as the basics of formulating sacred rhythm for our own lives and living.
This course for those looking to realign their faith walks with vision and purpose and is ideal for those entering a new school year, or a New Year!

About the Instructor
After 35 years of active parish ministry in the East Texas area (including several congregations in Houston), the Rev. Dr. James H. “Jim” Reiter took early retirement in 2018 so that he and his wife, Kathy, could pursue their interest in spiritual formation on a full-time basis. Together they founded Zoe-Life Explorations (www.zoe-life.net). Through this ministry and a variety of other roles (including lead instructor for BeADisciple’s Certification in Spiritual Formation program, spiritual director, a ministry specialist in spiritual direction and in spiritual formation for the Texas Annual Conference and others), Jim’s mission is to facilitate discussions and experiences of spiritual formation for individuals and faith communities.
