"Exploring Prayer"
with Dr. Jane Blackall and Dr. Mel Prideaux
This group will be partly based on the book 'Simply Pray' by UU minister Erik Walker Wikstrom. During the sessions, we will focus on four types of traditional prayer, which are shared by all the major world religions: naming, knowing, listening, and loving. It is our intention that the group will provide the opportunity to learn about practices from other faith traditions and also to directly experience various different forms of prayer. There will be plenty of time for your own personal reflection on the theme and chances to share your views and experiences of prayer with others. We hope that the course will help each participant to find a way to pray that is authentic to them and their sense of the Holy.
Note: There are four alternative morning engagement groups for adults at summer school this year. Small Group Activities are the central expression of Religious Education at summer school: each person attending HSS is expected to participate in a closed workshop group which meets for twelve hours over the course of the week. These groups are at the heart of summer school and provide a safe environment for deep exploration and personal relating.
