I believe the Lord's prayer is there is to give hope.  God wanted us to experience "Heaven on Earth."  Once we recite this it is in remembrance of the work we have accomplished on ourselves.  "Thy Kingdom come.…

Dan L commented on kismet's blog post 'What does Length of Sobriety Mean?'
Mark, I have 16 1/2 years and I am saying that for me, Time don't matter. I would disagree, for my recovery, I hope I never forget what 16 1/2 days felt like. The desperation and the misery of not wanting to live, but not knowing how to change…

You know...Not a lot of the folks Bill and Bob visited in the hospitals and asylums did not want to hear their message. Many of those who did not want to hear their message at first, did end up coming back to A.A. after time... It is called,…

In order for me to be around people in recovery that enhance my recovery, I find that I must take others inventory to an extent to be able to see who fits into my sobriety and who don't. So I think it is important to not so much judge, but take…

By the way, if you will take the time to read my story on the main site, you will see that I was once in the “Anti” God/Prayer group. Over time, I have come to see how vital God is to the A.A. program. I believe today, that the Steps…

Yes many things have changed in A.A. over the years, like letting treatment centers do our initial 12 Stepping. Perhaps this has a direct bearing on why less new comers stay sober the first time around and feel the need to do more research. In the…

Rob G. commented on Dan L's blog post 'Prayers in meetings....'
There is no denying that the Lord's Prayer has been a part of AA since the very beginning. Then again, back in the day before the Big Book was written, Oxford Group religious literature was used as the basis for recovery. That was a Christian…

Hello Dan. mileage really depends on the district and area. In my Area we encourage the DCM to go to their district for reimbursement first but the Area will reimbursement the DCM if their district can’t or won’t. as far as the amount…

To the issue that the prayer is a “Christian” prayer and might turn non-Christians off to A.A. and recovery, I say garbage. I have had the privilege to attend meetings all over the world in non-Christian societies, from Europe to Asia,…

Guy Lewis commented on Dan L's blog post 'Prayers in meetings....'
The use of the “Lord’s Prayer” is as much a part of A.A. as the Big Book, sponsorship, strong coffee, meetings, etc… The use of the Lord’s Prayer is included in our basic text and has been a part of A.A. from the very…

Any DCM's in the room?

Just a quick question about mileage reimbursement for are meetings. Do you get mileage for going to area? If so, how much do you get per mile? We are having some issues related to this in our district and am just curious as to what happens in other areas....

YIS,

Prayers in meetings....

Is it against tradition and the preamble to use a prayer with specific religious affiliation? When I look at the Christian prayer, "The Lords Prayer" that is said at the end of every meeting I have ever been to, I have to ask myself if we are going against the traditions and the preamble. What does everyone else think? Is reciting The Lords Prayer going against the traditions and the preamble as well as endorsing Christianity? Or should we simply accept it as is with its affiliations?
