Paul Harris with Jane Lee (meditator from Morrisburg) |
The Ottawa Christian Meditation community sponsored an exhibit at an Anglican Fellowship of Prayer conference, Saturday, March 6, at Saint Paul University. The all-day seminar for 100 participants included workshops and exhibits. Rev. Kevin Flynn, who leads a meditation group at Saint Paul’s, gave a workshop on the importance of the body in meditation and the liturgy. Paul Harris joined with Rev. Gregor Snedden (Contemplative Outreach / Centering Prayer) in a workshop entitled “Holy Longing – The Christian Contemplative Tradition”. Rev. Snedden presented an informative history of the ancient Christian tradition of contemplative prayer rooted in 4th century Desert monasticism. Paul responded to many questions posed by the interested participants. He also staffed the exhibit that included books and handouts on Christian Meditation. Paul Harris/Flora Benoit |
