Meditation

There is no active meditation group at present. 
Sadly, Father Tirrell's  600th and last offering of Monday evening meditation was 9 December 2019. 


The St. Andrew's meditation group took its inspiration and guidance from the World Community for Christian Meditation (WCCM), a global spiritual community begun in 1991 under the leadership of Fr. Laurence Freeman, OSB, a Benedictine monk from London.  Since that time, WCCM meditation groups have spread to over 60 countries.  Freeman’s work continues the labors of his mentor, Fr. John Main, OSB, of McGill University, who promoted the practice of Christian meditation in his books, lectures, and retreats. 

WCCM is one of many groups from different religious traditions which have joined in a worldwide effort to promote  a more contemplative spirituality for our time.  More information at  www.wccm.org

 Fr. Charlie Tirrell began the meditation group at St. Andrew’s in 2007.  Now a retired Episcopal priest, he was formerly a monk with the Augustinian Friars.  He was instructed in meditation and contemplative spirituality by his novice master and other monk spiritual directors throughout his 20 years with the Augustinians.  The St. Andrew's group met weekly for music and readings at the start and close with 20 minutes of silence between.

Anyone interested in starting a new meditation group at St. Andrew's should contact the rector.
