Quiet Fellowship: Living Hope

At  Quiet Fellowship, we welcome people of all faiths or no faith to  explore a deeper dimension of life in contemplative awareness. We are  especially open to authentic inquiry into aspects of spiritual living,  not shying away from existential issues and challenges of life's meaning  and purpose. A vibrant living faith is not afraid to doubt, to  interrogate, to question. It is even open to the possibility and reality  of not finding ready-made answers.

We aspire to build a community of grace and  wisdom that supports our personal journeys of faith, nurtures our  personal practice of contemplation, and weaves our personal stories and  insights into a tapestry of collective awakening and transformation in  Christ.

Living Hope:

At this session we will explore the eternal hope of salvation we have in Christ. We approach this by allowing our minds to settle into this moment, bright and clear. From this vantage point, we are ready to have open contact with each moment of God's presence calling us unto Himself. We do not seek to control or manipulate God to fit into our experience. Rather, we allow the Sovereign One to make His claim on us even as we wait upon Him. We can wait because He has infused us with His grace of holy waiting, looking beyond suffering and trial to the eternal living hope of Christ being fully formed in us and Christ returning to make all things new. All of this is possible and certain only because God in Christ has incarnated and done a perfect completed work on the cross. This is the heart of the gospel.

We will commence our session with a short prayer, moving seamlessly into guided meditation, followed by reflective reading of a bible passage accompanied by deep silent listening. We will then share reflections, emerging questions and issues, and conclude with prayers (everyone is welcome to offer a prayer) and benediction.
