The day will begin with an introductory reflection and the Prayer of the Church (the ‘Liturgy of the Hours’) led by Bishop Shane Mackinlay. There will be four 45 minute workshops, each offering a brief introduction and experience of prayer, each followed by 15 minutes for questions, discussion or a break: Our symbol is a wheel. Spokes represent many prayer forms from our rich Christian traditions. The spokes lead to the centre. Each spoke leads inward, towards stillness, quiet and deep listening and waiting at the centre. It is there that Christ may be found. An Australian aboriginal term for this deep stillness, listening and waiting is ‘Dadirri’.
