Daily
Devotion Websites:
Forward Day by Day is a booklet of daily
inspirational meditations reflecting on a specific Bible passage, chosen from
the daily lectionary readings as listed in the Revised Common Lectionary or the
Daily Office from the Episcopal Church's Book of Common Prayer.
A very good and very quick
daily devotional site with five tabs: Pause, Listen, Think, Pray, Go.
Each tab includes short reflections, prayers, and passages from Scripture, and
it even plays pretty music in the background.
The CCblogs
network is a community of independent bloggers exploring the Christian
faith. This is an excellent resource for
those looking to keep in touch with the pulse of the church today.
This
is a great resource for those looking to investigate the lectionary readings
(Sunday readings) for a given week. This
site includes sermons, bible studies, children/ adult formation resources, art
work, commentary, and much more.
An independent ecumenical platform that produces and
publishes multimedia (mostly videos) to stir imagination, spark discussion and
move people toward discovery and transformation.
Mockingbird is a ministry that seeks to connect
the Christian faith with the realities of everyday life in fresh and
down-to-earth ways. We do this primarily, but not exclusively, via
publications, conferences, and online resources.

reflections that are submitted by contributing clergy and lay scholars from
throughout the Episcopal Church.

Frederick Buechner is an American writer
and theologian. He is the author of more than thirty published books and has
been an important source of inspiration and learning for many readers. His work
encompasses many genres, including fiction, autobiography, essays, sermons, and
other nonfiction.
This is a great resource
center that includes links to 10 different daily devotional sites from a wide
range of theological perspectives (Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Reformed,
Evangelical Protestant, etc.).
A wonderful daily devotion
from the Brothers at Society of St. John the Evangelist, an Episcopal Monastic
Community in Cambridge. This can be accessed via the web link or can be
sent as a daily e-mail with a subscription.
This requires an opt-in
subscription, but once subscribed, you will receive daily reflections from
Father Richard Rohr, a very popular, contemporary catholic priest and
theological. I often find these reflections to be very helpful.
