The integrity of the method of Centering Prayer and its
conceptual background involves the wholeness of the teaching, which aims at
fostering a unity of mind and heart, of being and doing. It might be put this
way: the purpose of Centering Prayer is to prepare practitioners to be moved by
the Spirit in all their activities and to become manifestations of God's love.

... I will begin, in mid-June 2011, a 3-4
month sabbatical. I have asked that a transition team consisting
of Gail Fitzpatrick-Hopler, Fr. Carl Arico, Pat Johnson,
David Frenette and Mark Nowak to assume my administrative
responsibilities and for Mark Nowak to take my place as Chair of
the Board of Trustees during the sabbatical. The transition team
will operate as part of and in close consultation with the Circle
of Service and replace me during this period. At the end of my
sabbatical the effectiveness of this arrangement will be evaluated
for consideration as an on going body.

consequences are the sense of God’s absence and the feeling of
alienation from God, even at times the feeling of rejection by
God

This letter is a little later than usual. Part of the reason
is that during the summer Margaret, who had been doing some
volunteer work in the office, left to take up parttime paid job.
She has now settled into her new job and I am sure you all wish her
well. But Margaret intends to keep in touch and continue with
Centering Prayer.
