Summary: Excellent survey of cathedral and monastic prayer
Comment: This book should be required reading for anyone not appreciating their liturgical heritage. Bradshaw has written a readable, slim volume describing cathedral and monastic prayer - their appropriate use, history, the need for both in a full spiritual life ...

Cathedral prayer is the communal prayer with fixed roles, use of external signs, etc. generally oriented towards the benefit of the world at large. Monastic prayer is the private prayer with temporary roles, external signs only as training devices, generally oriented towards the benefit of the one praying. This distinction derives from early church practices.

Bradshaw shows that either practiced to the exclusion of the other is harmful - to the church and to the individual.

Consider this an essential book for anyone interested in prayer, liturgy or spiritual direction.
