Walk In The Light
This Quiet Day presents an opportunity to discover the work of the Holy Spirit in the human heart, according to the Fathers of the Eastern Church.
A Quiet Day for Pentecost, the day will invite participants to engage the heart through a morning session entitled ‘The Purifying Light’ and an afternoon session entitled ‘The Glorifying Light’.
The day will start and end with informal versions of Orthodox Morning and Evening Prayer.
