This Sunday, the first in Advent, NOVEMBER 29 at 9:15 – THE CONTEMPLATIVE LIFE – A CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE – Bob Shuford and Ed O'Keefe-
Usually we hear about meditation and contemplation with Eastern religion names and practices that may sound strange to those who were brought up in Christian traditions. Out presenters this morning think it important to discuss meditation in terms of the Christian church and give some historical background on the practice from early Christian sources. We will provide Biblical references and list historical and contemporary Christian teaching about this important subject common to all major faiths.
Bob Shuford, raised in the Methodist Church, has practiced meditation since the early '70s. Ed O'Keefe's early training was as a Roman Catholic seminarian; he spent five years in monasteries in Pittsburgh and Boston.
