A Service of Silence & Beholding: 

an unhurried time in which to dwell at the heart of the Eucharist

Sunday 28th June

8a.m.

St. Mary's Church, Sullington

Still Waters: 

a time to enter silence, still the mind and encounter the present moment in quiet

8 -10am

You are welcome to come at either 8 or 9 or to stay for the whole time. 

St Mary's Church, Sullington

Whether these events are part of your rhythm of contemplative practice, or you just need some space away from it all at this time of year, you will be most welcome. 

We love with God when and only when we are the conduit for God's reconciling presence with the person next to us. It is as we connect the other with the source of life that we come to stand in the place of life, the place cleared and occupied for us by Christ. 

Rowan Williams, Silence & Honey Cakes

Peace be with you.

Still Waters

This Saturday, 6^th June, you are once again invited to join Mark and I up at Sullington church from 8am until 10am for ‘Still Waters: a time to enter silence, still the mind and encounter the presence in quiet.’ Our short introductory focus will be on the dynamic between solitude and community – and in particular on the paradox of entering into silence as a radical expression of community and connectedness with all ...

At the heart of a maturing community are people who have begun to find their balance in solitude, their equipoise of conversion, of ready, eucharistic, ungrasping response, of apatheia. By discovering what they must do to find and maintain this moving balance and repose, they have begun to find true community; they have realized interdependence that is focused beyond itself.

Maggie Ross, Pillars of Flame: power, priesthood and spiritual maturity

We hope that you are able to join us.

Peace be with you
