Quiet Day

A Quiet Day with The Rev. Robert Berra

– From 9:30am to 1pm | Sanctuary + Z_o_o_m –

Rest in the peace of God on Quiet Day

This quiet day session is led by The Rev. Robert Berra.

Associate Rector and Chief of Staff

Rev. Robert joined the staff of Saint Barnabas in 2018. Before his ministry at Saint Barnabas, he served as a campus chaplain and faculty member at Arizona State University. Robert left organized religion in his teenage years. After wavering between agnosticism and Deism, he returned to Christianity and was confirmed in the Episcopal Church in his mid-twenties. He considers his time outside of the church to be a gift from God. That time informs Robert’s desire to bring people into a meaningful relationship with a loving God and into communion with a community mirroring the love of Jesus. Both natives of Mobile, Alabama, Robert and his spouse Laura were married in 2008 and have a son, Colin. Together, they can often be found bicycling or walking their dog around Tempe’s University Park neighborhood.

The contemplative life is quite simple and accessible to everyone. It is simply the intention to pause, to be still, and, by faith, to rest in Christ’s presence within. Quiet Day includes reflections by the Rev. Robert Berra, quiet, solitary time, and sessions of communal silent prayer in the Sanctuary. Participants are welcome to the Sanctuary, to quiet areas for reading or journaling, or to walk our beautiful grounds. The day concludes with the Holy Eucharist. Please bring your Bible.
