03/25/2011 - 03/27/2011 Experiencing Unity - Praying in Unity
Prayer and Meditation is what binds us - across cultures, territorial boundaries and denominations. All Christians experience God's presence with us, in us, and between us. This retreat will explore how we can deepen and celebrate that unity in Christ and how viewing and responding to world news and events through this lens gives visible expression to this deep communion.
The retreat will include:
- Meditation
- Chanting in the style of Taize
- Praying through Scripture
- Teaching and Discussion Periods
- Time to get to know each other
- Morning and evening prayer
- Celebrating with gratitude the beauty of God and the mystery of our deep unity with God.
Spiritual directors will be available to give retreatants an opportunity to share their faith journey in individual sessions.
