One of Christianity’s best kept secrets is the “pure prayer” of silence originating from the time of Jesus, the
early Desert Fathers and Mothers, and the 6th century monasticism of Benedict of Nursia. This six-part series explores this re-emerging contemplative tradition through the prayer of Christian Meditation by the Benedictine monks John Main and Laurence Freeman and is now practiced in over 100 countries. The historical roots, characteristics of Benedictine Christian contemplative tradition and current practice will be the focus of this series.
