For many years, the Rev'd Dr. Charles Tirrell led meditation sessions on Monday evenings at St. Andrew’s. Skilled in spiritual direction, pastoral counseling and meditation, Father Charlie drew on his own experience as an Augustinian monk. His meditation sessions also took inspiration from the World Community 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. |
