adult RE: exploring prayer
This new adult RE course will run for six sessions, meeting weekly on Thursday evenings (7.00-9.00pm), from 16th July to 27th August 2009 (excluding 20th August). It is not essential to come to all of the sessions but we would appreciate it if you let us know in advance if you plan to attend... and it would be even better if you could commit to coming to at least four of the six nights.
The sessions will be partly based on the book 'Simply Pray' by Unitarian Universalist minister Erik Walker Wikstrom. During the course, 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 course will also provide opportunities for everyone to directly experience various different forms of prayer. There will also be plenty of time for your own personal reflection on the theme and chances to share your views and your own experiences of prayer with the rest of the group. 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.
We are still in the early stages of planning for this course and would particularly like to hear from anyone who has their own prayer practice and might be willing to come to the sessions and tell us about it. Please email education@kensington-unitarians.org.uk or telephone the church office on 020 7221 6514 to get in touch or to book your place.
