Contemplative Christianity for our Time
A course inspired by the John Main Seminar 2019
With Sarah Bachelard
This course consists of five sections. Each of these sections concentrates on one of the five talks delivered by Sarah Bachelard at the John Main Seminar of 2019. Within each section are five lessons: three of these lessons consist of video recordings of the talk, as delivered to the audience in Canada. Each of the three video lessons (usually between 15 and 20 minutes long) is accompanied by a selection of quotes from the talk and a number of prompts and questions which we hope will serve to support your experience of, and reflections on, the talks. Each video selection, with the accompanying quotes and prompts, constitutes one lesson.
The invitation of this course is to make a reality of the vital questions that Sarah raises by always relating them to your own lived experience and to your own practice.
