“Christian Colleges that promote Contemplative”
by Lighthouse Trails Research Project   
November 15th, 2009

 Contemplative Prayer – A mystical prayer practice that leads one into the “silence” but in actuality leads away from God.

Definition of Contemplative Spirituality: a belief system that uses ancient mystical practices to induce altered states of consciousness (the silence) and is often wrapped in Christ terminology; the premise of contemplative spirituality is pantheistic (God is all) and panentheistic (God is in all).
