Prayer & Contemplation

Regular times of shared silence and times for contemplative prayer are an important part of our life as a community, including Simple Quiet Days and our Quiet Place (In the Eye of the Storm) meetings .   We see the desire for social justice and actions of solidarity as profoundly connected with contemplation, reflection and imagination.

After a pause during lock-down, we are re-starting as follows:

A Quiet Place (In the eye of the storm)  
Exploring the links between contemplation and resistance, between silence, solidarity and suffering.

​Venue Holy Innocents, Fallowfield.
Day Wednesday

Time 4.30-6.30pm
Scheduled Dates (2020) 
23 September, 28 October, 25 November, 16 December

How do people struggling against injustice and violence – either in their personal lives or as activists in wider social movements – find support, solidarity  and renewal?  How do we encounter our own anger and that of others, without being overwhelmed?
Many faith traditions, including the Christian tradition of contemplative prayer, offer resources of silence and solidarity.
Picture
These sessions are intended to offer an inclusive space for people from all faith traditions or none.  The intention is to create space for contemplative conversations where we listen to ourselves and each other, and to offer a time of shared silence.

​
The sessions will take a simple format.  Up to an hour reflecting together on the situation we are currently in and the many crises affecting the world and our own lives, followed by up to one hour silent prayer.
Simple Quiet Days
These days are intended to provide you with the space to “be” before God; to relax, reflect and pray and so to renew your spiritual resources. The space available will be kept as quiet as possible. 

Unfortunately we are not able to hold the Saturday Simple Quiet Days in Church at present but we hope to gather resources for the website to share that may support our common efforts to pray and act in solidarity with those whose lives are most threatened in the crises that are affecting us all.
