A commitment to the daily practice of Centering Prayer
is the primary expression of belonging.
Each month, we bring you one of the Theological Principles from Contemplative Outreach. We offer it to you for prayer and reflection. The Theological Principle will appear in our first e-news of the month and in the second e-news of each month, we will offer a Scripture in support of Centering Prayer and Contemplative Life.
