Three Modules over two

£300
The
Course is open to people of all traditions, those of other faith
groups, and any who are interested in exploring the theme of Christian
Spirituality.
This Course is intended to be experiential
rather than academic – to complement personal journeys in spiritual development
– and some may find the pace gentler than in other
Courses.
Spiritual Formation Today
It is clear that
more and more people are developing an interest in spirituality. The emergence
of an awareness that being human concerns matters of mind, body and spirit is
not just limited to the personal realm but is being recognised as a factor in
the way groups, organisation and societies function.
Realising this growing
need, Exploring Christian Spirituality, is a response from the London Centre for
Spirituality. The Course was first run in 2006 and is designed to
appeal to those who:
- want
to discover more about Christian spirituality
- seek
to widen their understanding of the subject;
- are
considering further courses but need to deepen their awareness of the breadth of
our tradition;
- would
like to learn new forms of prayer;
- are
hoping to develop courses in spirituality in their own churches;
- feel
a call to train as Spiritual Directors;
- are
looking for a way of renewing their prayer
Please forward this email to anyone you think would be
interested. Perhaps the course would be good for a directee, a friends at
church, a colleague....

“My love is as the hills,
the lonely valleys clad with forest trees.
The rushing, sounding rills,
Strange isles in distant seas,
Lover-like whisperings,
murmurs of the breeze.
My love is the hush-of-night,
Is dawn’s first breathing’s
in the heavens above,
Still music veiled from sight,
Calm that can echoes move,
The feast that brings new strength –
The feast of love.”
S. John of the Cross

Spirituality is not the preserve of a few, chosen,
holy, unique individuals.
It is the means by which we all find our
meaning and purpose in life.

“The crown of God’s creation is a human
being, made in the image of God
and possessing an affinity to him
in virtue of which he may come to
know him,
to love him and, in the end,
to see him”
