EnLIGHTenment Series: The Deserts Roots of Contemplative Prayer: Emptiness, Silence & Hiddenness of Self presented by Belden C. Lane Ph.D. — Wednesday, September 25, 2024, 5:30pm – 8:30pm
Using slides and stories, Belden C. Lane Ph.D. will talk about the significance of desert geography in the life of the early Desert Fathers and Mothers. Putting a priority on silence and scarcity, they taught contemplative prayer by means of short sayings and stories, giving rise to what we know as the Jesus Prayer.
