Silence in the City
Series of talks on silent prayer and contemplative living in the modern world.
Westminster Cathedral Hall, Ambrosden Avenue, London SW1. T: 020 7252 2453, E: info@silenceinthecity.org.uk, W: www.silenceinthecity.org.uk
Tuesday 6 December
Booking recommended.
The series of talks at London's Westminster Cathedral Hall is intended as a response to the growing hunger for stillness in the modern world. Each meeting is led by someone committed to the contemplative life; each includes one or more talks, and at least one period devoted to silent prayer.
The speakers have been invited to concentrate on the value of silence and the possibilities of silent prayer, but they are also encouraged to discuss any or all of the other monastic values of solitude, simplicity and contemplative service. The series will be ecumenical in nature, and it is possible that later series will include representatives of other faiths.
Some speakers will describe particular approaches to silent prayer; others will speak more generally, though they will give guidance to those who need it on how to use the prayer periods.
Earlier talks given by Dr Cynthia Bourgeault, Esther de Waal, Fr Laurence Freeman, Fr Richard Rohr, Fr Timothy Radcliffe, Daniel O'Leary, Jean Vanier and others are archived on their website.
Silence in the City is organised by lay members of the World Community for Christian Meditation and Contemplative Outreach London who meet regularly for prayer at Westminster Cathedral.
The Silence in the City website has more details of the speakers as well as past talks
and links to other organisations.
