The Labyrinth: Walking Prayer. Sunday, March 5, 11:15 a.m., Fullerton Room

Since the Middle Ages, Christians have practiced walking prayer and meditation through the use of labyrinths, first as a substitute for religious pilgrimage and now as a method of creative and physical prayer. Anne Montgomery Schmid, BMPC member and Veriditas Certified Labyrinth Facilitator, will guide participants through the history, practice, and divine mystery of walking the labyrinth with a focus on our Labyrinth Ministry here at BMPC. Following the class, you will have the opportunity to walk our own Chartres Labyrinth in Congregational Hall.
