This two day residential workshop takes place
in the beguiling setting
of Abbey House, overlooking the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey.
We will be working with the familiar Hear our Silence programe:
sharing the Prayer of Silence together, working in groups to
explore its meaning for us, and using Julian’s own teaching
on prayer in lectio Divina.

We have hated and fought,
We have murdered and fled,
But the peace that we sought
Is alone with the dead.
We have offered ourselves
On the altar of greed;
We have poisoned our sons
With our venomous creed.
We have bombed and destroyed;
We have raped and diseased,
Till the earth has grown dark
With our war-obsequies.
We have sung our wild song
In the ghouls’ jubilee,
And, O Love, once again
We have crucified Thee.
