The Julian Group
We have regularly held meetings at 95, Cheltenham Road usually on the last Thursday of each month at 10am. There are the times during the year when I am away and we are then grateful to Sylvia Harker and Kate Golding for holding these meetings in their homes.
During the year attendance has been between 3 and 14! We begin our meetings with a reading, followed by a prayer, leading into a period of silent contemplation, followed by a closing prayer. We then enjoy refreshments and, weather permitting, members are invited to walk in the garden.
In July we paid our annual visit to Burford Priory for our quiet day. During this time Sister Mary and, later, Father Stuart both spent some time giving us interesting spiritual and amusing talks. We also celebrated a
Eucharist service in the chapel with them and other members of the community. Between these events we were able to use our own ‘quiet room’, library, kitchen, bookstall and lakeside garden.
After our December meeting we all enjoyed an excellent Christmas lunch.
The monthly meetings are a haven of peaceful quietness – ‘waiting on God’. June Prosser-Vane
