Who We are
. . .
Contemplative
Outreach Vision
Statement
ontemplative
Outreach is a spiritual network of individuals and small faith
communities committed to living the contemplative dimension of the
Gospel in everyday life through the practice of Centering Prayer.
The contemplative dimension of the Gospel manifests itself in an
ever-deepening union with the living Christ and the practical caring for
others that flows from that relationship.
Our
purpose is to share the method of Centering Prayer and its immediate
conceptual background. We
also encourage the practice of Lectio Divina (spiritual reading of
Scripture) particularly its movement into Contemplative Prayer, which a
regular and established practice of Centering Prayer facilitates.
We identify with the
Christian Contemplative Heritage. While
we are formed by our respective denominations, we are united in our
common search for God and the experience of the living Christ through
Centering Prayer. We affirm
our solidarity with the contemplative dimension of other religions and
sacred traditions, with the needs and rights of the whole human family,
and with all creation.

ou give but little when you give
of your possessions.
