New Moot Season
Deepening Our Spirituality & Community
Now that we are in the run up to advent and Christmas in the church calendar of what is called ordinary time, Moot now turns to deepen our understanding of our developing rhythm of life, and for this month of September we start by looking at balance. We are using the book "finding sanctuary" by Christopher Jamison, (Abbot from the TV series The Monastery), to accompany our discussions and explorations. For this month - we kick off with looking at balance. The community agreed the final statement on this to be:
balance
We aspire to live with integrity in the city, striving as a community for balance between work, rest and play. We wish to develop healthy spiritual disciplines such as daily prayer, meditation and contemplation, drawing on the ancient Christian paths. We want to live within our means, living sustainable lives. We desire to not be simply consumers, but people committed to giving and receiving in all of life.
In preparation for this, we have encouraged people to read pages 11-29 from the book, which will then inform the services, discussions, scripture space and prayer groups.
We have sold out of the books we have, so if you want to get yourself one cheap used copy - click here.
