THEME OF THE WORKSHOP
'The so-called "Jesus Prayer" ("Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me, a sinner") is a way of refocusing attention on God in any and every situation, and many Eastern Christian writers have discussed it in detail. This session will look both at its development and its practical use today.'
