Sisters offer introduction to prayer course
 An introduction to prayer course is set to be run by the Sisters at the Community of All Hallows, on the Norfolk/Suffolk border, for whom prayer, silence and meditation are a central part of their life.
Sister Elizabeth, from the Community, said: “Prayer is central to the life of our Community and it is that from which all-else flows. Times of silence within the Convent contribute towards a deeper atmosphere of prayer.
"We make time daily for personal prayer and spiritual reading. Together we worship in a pattern of four daily services, a daily Eucharist and regular periods of meditation. The Sisters are involved in pastoral work, spiritual direction and welcoming guests and visitors.
“In 2010 we decided to offer a course sharing some of our experience of prayer. This became a four-part series of Saturday quiet days under the title ‘Teach us to pray’.
“Based on the interest in that course we are running a Quiet Day at Ditchingham on July 9, 2011 for beginners in prayer,” said Sister Elizabeth.
“If you cannot come to this day it might be possible to arrange a similar day in your parish, so please get in touch.
“We are always pleased to share the rhythm of our life with any who are interested – so why don’t you come and see.”
