Lynn Pete


Creating a Culture of Prayer Conversation


In December General Secretary Lynn Green and her colleagues in the Baptists Together Core Leadership Team invited us all to embrace a season of prayerful waiting and stillness.
 
The Baptists Together magazine editorial team subsequently discerned that prayer would be the focus of the summer 2024 edition.
 
As part of this edition, Lynn travelled to Waverley Abbey in Surrey to ask Pete Greig a range of questions about prayer.
 
Pete has been teaching on prayer for more than 25 years. He founded the 24-7 Prayer movement, has written award winning books about prayer, including How To Pray, God on Mute, and How to Hear God, and launched the Lectio 365 app.
 
Their conversation was filmed and edited into bite size videos, which appear below.
