Waiting on God in the Silence
A Julian Meeting (JM) is usually 6 -15 people of various denominations, both lay people and clergy. They meet regularly in a house, church or chapel. A brief reading, or a piece of music, leads into about 30 minutes of silent contemplative prayer. This may be followed by a time for tea or coffee and conversation.
The movement was named after Julian of Norwich, a fourteenth century mystic. Her inspired writings are sometimes used at meetings but JM is in no way a Julian cult. The purpose of JM is defined as `fostering the practice and teaching of contemplative prayer within the Christian tradition', and this accords with Julian's precept that the highest form of prayer consists in simply waiting on God.
Julian Meetings take place within the Abbey congregation.
