Quiet Days, Retreats & Pilgrimages
Whatever pace at which we live our lives, we need, both individually and collectively, to reflect and re-focus on how we are living them.
Prayer & Pilgrimage Resources
Praying for others
Prayer for others has been a central part of what Christians do since the very beginning – it is an integral part of the call to love our neighbour. As Rowan Williams says, prayer ‘injects’ into a broken and chaotic world something that will heal it and pull it together. Prayer transforms us as individuals, but it is also a powerful agent for healing and change in our communities and world as it engages us with God’s creative and compassionate work.
Prayer tools and traditions
What helps people to pray? What might help you to be more confident in how you pray? This section of our website offers information and resources to explore prayer and spirituality from a variety of traditions.
Prayer resources for schools
Many of our church schools are discovering the positive impact of prayer stations – where children and young people perform an action that helps them to focus on aspects of their own spirituality and the mystery of God. It could be as simple as a jar with water and glitter: watching the stirred glitter settle is a wonderful quietening tool, or an outside labyrinth: following the path to the centre allows the participant to consider their journey along the way.
Pilgrimage resources
A pilgrimage is a wonderful way to pray and journey with God - both physically and spiritually.
