Christian Faith and Life Group

All are welcome. The group will be led by Philip Harper on Mindfulness: a Christian interfaith encounter with Buddhism. 

Mindfulness is a secular and scientific practice developed in the late 1970s out of Buddhist meditation. This session begins by sharing one Christian’s encounter with Buddhists and Buddhism through Mindfulness training, looking at points of contact between the contemplative traditions of the two faiths. After offering a brief experience of secular Mindfulness, it is hoped our discussion will open into exploring other points of contact Christian spirituality may have with the contemplative and mystical traditions of world religions.
