"...a million opportunities for letting go" 🍃⁠
⁠
For those who may doubt that centering prayer is going to work for them – or may feel that they’ve tried and it didn’t work – one of our Contemplative Life leaders Liza Bell says that while it’s not a practice that everybody gets on with, she often encounters people who simply have a misunderstanding of what centering prayer actually is. Although it bears certain similarities to meditation, the goal is not to empty one’s mind of thought. Rather, in centering prayer, the intent is to become aware of thoughts as they come, inevitably, into our awareness… then practice letting them go. ⁠
⁠
“By the way,” Liza says, “your brain is not going to shut down! You’re always going to have thoughts arising. But this just means you have a million opportunities for letting go of those thoughts.” Liza connects the centering prayer approach to the words of Jesus: “When you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”⁠

“What we do for the African American community b

“What we do for the African American community benefits everybody. Anything that knocks down barriers is a good thing.” -Br. Lee Hughes, OP⁠
⁠
Saint Barnabas is blessed to host the Diocese of Arizona’s annual observance of the Feast Day of Absalom Jones, (February 18) the first African American Episcopal priest. In preparation for welcoming the diocese to our parish, we will take the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the stories of African Americans in the Episcopal Church through a series of Sunday morning classes.⁠
⁠
On January 29, join us to learn the story of African American ordination in the Episcopal Church. The session will chart the experience of black Episcopalians, using the ordinations of The Rev. Absalom Jones to The Rt. Rev. Barbara Harris as guideposts.⁠
⁠
Sunday at 9am in our Parish Hall and on Z_o_o_m.⁠
