Pilgrimage of the People - Paperback

by Robert J. F. Elsner (Author)

Labyrinths are often thought of as individual meditation tools. In this new volume, liturgies are provided for communal worship so that groups of people can center their prayer on God and develop community. Liturgies for celebrations and major and minor feasts throughout the church calendar are provided, along with special events like healing services, reconciliation, and civic occasions. Each liturgy can be led by laity or ordained persons. Aid is provided for those new to the centering prayer of labyrinths, and options for individuals unable to walk or use a wheelchair are included.
