Join us as we read the text by Joyce Huggett and the verses from Psalm 119 (in Spiritual Classics, p. 10). The questions are intended to provide a spark for conversation. We invite your comments in any direction!
- What was your first response to this reading? What words, phrases or sentences captured you?
- Huggett opens with a quote from Anthony Bloom: "Meditation is a piece of straight thinking under God's guidance." In what sense is this true?
- What is attractive about taking biblical texts as a starting point for meditation? What benefits might this practice provide?
- How could we restate, or explain, Huggett's way of defining meditation and contemplation?
- Speak of your own experiences of meditation and contemplation--or lack of experiences! What desire or need might they fulfill for you? How do you--or might you--bring these practices into your life?

Claire Wolterstorff introduced me to the writings of Anthony Bloom,who was a much loved archbishop of the Russian Orthodox Church in Great Britain. He offers an interesting, fresh perspective on prayer.
