Cultivated Through Liturgy - Anglican (Galatians 5:22-23)

Source: Liturgical reflection74 words

Anglican spirituality emphasizes formation through liturgy. The weekly rhythms of prayer, confession, communion, and blessing cultivate the Spirit's fruit over time. Thomas Cranmer designed the Book of Common Prayer to shape character: repeated prayers become internalized virtues. "Peace be with you" said a thousand times becomes actual peace. Patience grows through waiting seasons of the church year. The fruit of the Spirit is liturgically cultivated—grown through ancient practices, week by week, year by year.
