We will gather each week to notonly read and discuss the Scriptures, but through this ancient practice we willallow the Scriptures to read us. Join us as we engage the biblical textsof the week in a contemplative group setting with the fourfold method oflectio, meditatio, oratio, and contemplatio. No experience with lectio divinaor “homework” will be necessary—if you are looking to cut through the noise inyour life and to hear more clearly what the Holy Spirit is saying to you, thismay be the group for you!
