"I Pray to God to Rid me of God": Meditation and the Secular - Fr Laurence Freeman

Fr Laurence Freeman, OSB. Director of The World Community for Christian Meditation

If meditation is to fulfil its potential in promoting mental health the full spectrum of its significance must be acknowledged. This ranges from the technical to the spiritual. An authentically secular approach does not endorse prejudice against the spiritual or indeed religious traditions but, of course, accords them no privileged position either. Laurence Freeman explores how meditation in the mental health field addresses this important cultural question of our time.
