Spirituality, Contemplation, and Transformation: Writings on Centering Prayer, by Thomas Keating and other authors.

This Spirited, interactive gathering invites all women to engage in study and discussion meant to deepen our relationship with God and one another. And to equip ourselves to encounter the challenges of our lives from a foundation of faith. Along with scripture, we use theology, our faith tradition, spiritual practices, and our lived experiences to reflect together on our faith stories. We each come with our own background comprised of our denominational formation and our unique experiences.

This is not your grandma’s Bible Study. You need not be able to recite chapter and verse. You are not expected to pass a litmus test of particular beliefs except to bring your open mind and heart and respect the dignity of all human beings. And you are not to “leave your brain at the door.” These gatherings are not lectures by an “expert” but opportunities to share thoughts, experiences, and wonderings in a caring circle of friends. Yes, and even doubts are welcomed!
