DISCOVER THE PRACTICE OF SILENT PRAYER
Tuesday evenings in Lent, 5–6 p.m.
Join us on the evenings of March 11, 18, and 25, and April 1 and 8, for an opportunity to discover a simple practice of silent prayer in community, for which the Sunday Speaker Series discussions will provide initial teaching and encouragement. Newcomers to this practice are particularly welcome, and the cumulative effect of several weeks of this form of prayer together may be surprising.
There will be three in-person locales each week, but we shall be conjoined via the internet, and each session will be very briefly opened by the Rev. Professor Sarah Coakley in Alexandria. The last of these events (April 8) will involve 15 minutes of shared silence followed by a very simple contemplative Eucharist in each locale. The locations are:
St. John’s Church (1525 H Street, NW)
Convened by the Rev. Robert W. Fisher
The Oratory, Immanuel Chapel, Virginia Theological Seminary (3737 Seminary Road, Alexandria)
Convened by the Rev. Professor Sarah Coakley
Northwest D.C. (near Tenleytown Metro)
Convened by the Rev. Sarah Akes-Cardwell
Sign up at bit.ly/silent-prayer-lent-2025. Please plan to arrive at your preferred location by 5:00 p.m. Sessions will begin promptly at 5:15 p.m. and end promptly at 6 p.m.
