Our Centering Prayer Ministry is a small ecumenical group meeting weekly to study Christian mysticism and practice contemplative methods of prayer, primarily using the Centering Prayer method as taught by Fr. Thomas Keating OCSO and The Rev. Cynthia Bourgeault, an Episcopal priest.
After first gathering for a few minutes we practice our 20 minutes of silent Centering Prayer.
