Last night, a couple of dozen people gathered at the St. Rose parish center for "An Introduction to Christian Meditation." Regular weekly group members were in attendance as well.

Greg Ryan led the evening which included a brief discussion of how the group began more than 30 years ago. A DVD titled "The Pilgrimage" narrated by Father Laurence Freeman, Director of The World Community for Christian Meditation presented the basics of John Main's life and teaching on the ancient practice of Christian meditation as passed down through the ages. The DVD included interviews with meditators from around the world who have made meditation the foundation of their daily lives. After some Q&A, refreshments were served. Books, Newsletters (pictured at the left) and hand-outs were made available to help reinforce the teaching.

Of course, as with every meditation meeting, the focus was on the actual meditation period together.

Greg mentioned that if there is enough interest, a Saturday morning meditation group could be started at St. Rose, in addition to the usual Monday evening group hosted by The First Presbyterian Church of Belmar. Contact Greg for more information.
