Christian Meditation and Father Laurence Freeman

So, Sunday in Delphi, and immediately the memory of the word Sunday evokes the need for Christian practice.

On Saturday,visiting the museum attached to the Temenos of Apollo yesterday, I am struck by several statues which are so Christian that reading that they are pre-Christian by between five and eight centuries makes the case that the Christian experience is an eternal one and has always been available to the seeker.
One of the heroes of Christian Meditation is John Main, who found and passed his experience of meditation on to Father Laurence Freeman who passes it on to thousands through the message of Christian Meditation.   Father Laurence is Director of the World Community for Christian Meditation and says it is an urgent necessity to rediscover the contemplative dimension of Christianity and that we can only do that by experiencing the power and meaning that silence holds.
"Silence is not an absence, nor a canvas waiting to be filled.  It is not threatening but something deeply attuned to our humanity.  "In silecnce we touch a universality that words usually only point to.  It is not an escape from reality but an embrace with the divine reality that we know as love.  Relationships are changed by this experience of silence in transcendence, in ways that words cannot achieve.  We live together in a new way when we have been patient together in the silence of love."
