Christian Meditation Group

Date posted: Thursday 8th May
Location: Central Oxford

This weekly meditation group is affiliated to the World Community for Christian Meditation. We meet at 7:25pm for a 7:30pm start every Wednesday at the St Theosevia Centre for Christian Spirituality, 2 Canterbury Road, Oxford.

We are a friendly ecumenical group, currently a mixture of Anglicans, Catholics and Quakers, who practice meditation in the context of our Christian faith. The tradition of meditation that we practice, silently repeating a prayer word or 'mantra', dates back to the time of the Desert Fathers of the 4th century, as described by John Cassian in his Conferences.

Whether you are completely new to meditation or have been practicing this way of prayer for some time you would be very welcome to join us. Meetings begin with a twenty minute recorded teaching about Christian meditation, followed by 30 minutes of silent meditation. There is an opportunity for questions/reflections/conversation afterwards.

If you would like to know more please see our Website at www.oxfordwccm.org.uk Or simply come along to a meeting. All are welcome, regardless of any church affiliation.
