Practices

Practices and customs in Christianity; traditional and innovative. All religions -- including Christianity -- undertake certain repeated behaviors that are conducive to a "spiritual" life. For Christianity, if this repeated behavior leads the person or group to the deity, it is a religious practice. Typically, one would consider meditation and prayer to be obvious practices of the religious life. Practices can also be much more varied. Many people have found that creative outlets like singing and painting can be an inspiring Christian practice that allows deep communication with the divinity. Other practices can seem mundane on the surface. One might make a spiritual practice of washing the dishes or flossing one's teeth! Happy practicing!
