Contemplative spirituality and fresh expressions of church: building contemplative ecclesial communities out of contextual mission.
May 16th 2011, 10am-4pm
The London Centre for Spirituality, St Edmund the King, Lombard Street, London.
Tickets: £7 (purchase tickets).
In a culture which is increasingly interested in spirituality rather than religion, the church is challenged to consider how you express the Christian faith in this new post-secular context. There are many resources in the historic contemplative tradition that resonate deeply with the great number of spiritual seekers in this the third millenium.
This study day aims to enable those who are interested in contemplative spirituality or those interested in pioneering approaches to mission to explore this more fully, drawing on the experience of a number practitioners in this field.
