Part of our investigative research scope has included Christian universities and seminaries, a majority of which now promote contemplative spirituality. Liberty University, one of the largest Christian universities in the U.S., has been on the contemplative\/emergent path for many years. We take this matter extremely serious because the &#8220;fruit&#8221; of contemplative prayer in a person&#8217;s life is the formation of a &#8220;new&#8221; spiritual outlook that resembles more of a New Age thought (interspirituality and panentheism) than a biblical one. As for contemplative pioneer, Richard Foster, please read our article\/booklet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\/blog\/?p=17941\">&#8220;A Serious Look at Richard Foster\u2019s \u201cSchool\u201d of Contemplative Praye.&#8221;<\/a> and make sure your children and grandchildren are not being influenced by a deceived school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dear Lighthouse Trails:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have a grandchild at Liberty University, so I occasionally&nbsp;view their convocation meetings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I was viewing LU&#8217;s Wednesday eve&#8217;s (9\/2\/2020) gathering of thousands of LU students, the pastor who was addressing those students announced that they will be embarking upon a five-week spiritual journey based on Richard Foster&#8217;s book, <em>Celebration of Discipline.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m an angry and sad Grandpa . . . thousands of young people will be duped by theologians who should know better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is the vid.
