Join with others on zoom to discuss books about silence based prayer & meditation. Usually monthly on a Wednesday.

In May 2022, we'll be reading the following short book:
​
Patrick Leigh Fermor, A Time to Keep Silence.
published in various editions but originally by John Murray Publishing in 1975.
On Tuesday 14th June, we'll be returning to our usual pattern of reading a chapter at a time per month through a new book. Check back here or the home page of the website in a few weeks to find out what this will be.

For a list of the others dates we'll gather in 2022, scroll down the page.
​​Sustaining a discipline of silence based prayer is not always easy.
The reading group offers several ways to support you in this:
​
  • Meet regularly with others who are also exploring a discipline of silence based prayer to share experiences of what it's like: the struggles and the joys, your questions and discoveries!
  • Read slowly through books about silence, usually a chapter at a time between meetings, and then gather to discuss what we've found helpful, challenging and encouraging .
  • Sharing in periods of silence with others is a supportive and helpful thing to do. So after a time of discussing the latest chapters, there will be 20 minutes of silent prayer together.
  • Our shared silence is often followed by time to reflect and chat about how our reading and discussion have impacted on this practice: what was useful, what we noticed, what got in the way or was hard.
​
We meet one Wednesday every month (usually the second Wednesday but not always!) using zoom at 7.30pm and finish by 9.30pm.
