Half an hour of shared silence in a circle, for prayer, contemplation, meditation or whatever it means for anyone of any faith or none.
This ancient devotional practice involves walking around the church stopping at fourteen points, which represent Jesus’ walk from Pilate’s court to Golgotha and his crucifixion and burial. At each station we will pause to contemplate an image, read Scripture and specially chosen poetry and texts, as we hold the suffering of the world in our hearts, in reflection, prayer and repentance.
A gathering for silent prayer, readings, meditation, reflection and conversation.
