This is an event for Chichester Clergy..

Lectio divina, the traditional monastic way of reading and praying the Bible, is increasingly employed by busy clergy as an aid to the spiritual life. It goes beyond labels like ‘catholic’ and evangelical’ to a shared encounter with the living word of Scripture.

This course will use Cranmer’s famous BCP Collect for the Second Sunday of Advent to discuss the traditional monastic ‘method’ of lectio divina (reading, marking, and digesting the Word in meditation, as fuel for contemplative prayer).

Through the regular discipline of lectio the Word made flesh embodied in the Bible can become a word of prayer - with transforming effect on clergy and communities.
