“The Christians of the future will be mystics, or they will not exist at all. ”
Anam Cara Thursdays 6pm
Silence, mindfulness, music
In rediscovering the Wisdom tradition at the heart of mystical Christianity, the Anam Cara Contemplative Church Service @ 6pm every Thursday nurtures transformation through gentle silence, mindfulness, music and ritual.
How long is a Contemplative service?
In total, a Contemplative Church service is about 60 minutes in length.
What can I expect?
We usually start the service with a welcoming ritual. There is an opening prayer and a simple chant is sung or listened to.
Halfway through the meditation beautiful music is played as a prayer and some people do a meditative walk before continuing the meditation.
All in all there are two sessions of 25 minutes of quiet. People usually leave the service in silence.
What's the culture like at Contemplative Church ?
This is perhaps the most beautiful experience on offer at Alstonville Anglican church. In today’s busy and stressed world the time of quiet is restful and nourishing.
