Quiet Fellowship: Sanctified Presence

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.

Sanctified Presence:

At this session we will explore how we can enter confidently into the presence of Christ, our Redeemer who has atoned for our sins and bore our judgement on the cross. Abiding in Christ is more than mere mindfulness or meditation—it is an active yet non-striving posture of settling deeply into the Word of Christ illumined by His Spirit. There can be a palpable sense of our spirit or pure awareness being cradled in the Holy Spirit, who is plenitude beyond borders and conceptual limitations yet unwavering from the Word of God. We approach the Lord in humility, surrender, fear and trembling suffused with His love and tender mercies assuring us to the core. We offer up our malleable presence before Him, waiting upon Him in quietness and trust.

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.
