NOVICES IN THE
SCHOOL OF LOVE
This group meets the fourth Wednesday
evening of each month at Orchard View. This a diverse multi-faith group that studies and practices meditation, contemplation, and a deeper faith in Jesus Christ. We will be observing and adapting monastic practices in the lives we live today in the world.
These include daily prayer, scripture reading, meditation, study, silence, and solitude. The group is led by former monk Jeff Maskow, who resided at the Abbey of Gethsemani in Trappist, Kentucky, which was, until his untimely death in 1968, home for world-famous theologian, author, poet, and activist Thomas Merton. Interested participants may meet with us at 7 pm.
