A finely written post. Most people miss the "structure" aspect of wu-wei, that it possesses a relationship to li (理) and is underwritten by a complementing discipline that is more subtle and refined than simple carefree doing. The story of cook Ding from the Zhuangzi being the best example of disciplined ease in performance. Of course, I have to wonder what Christian practice you are referring to?

Its interesting when one goes back to a pre Christian era, the basic message is all the same, whether East or West, North or South.....
Hesychasm? Yeah, that was why i ended up trapped in Christianity for a bit. Back to the Dao for me.
