“Annually on the first Saturday of May, people across the world gather at their local community labyrinths to join in a coordinated ‘prayer tsunami’, starting in the Pacific and sweeping across the globe. This year Brisbane’s World Labyrinth Day event will be held at St John’s Cathedral,” say Randal and Susan Dennings
“For those of us who are spending much more time at home than usual, we can build resilience and care for ourselves through meditation and prayer – labyrinth meditation is one particularly helpful approach,” say Randal and Susan Dennings from St Matthew’s, Holland Park, as World Labyrinth Day approaches on 2 May
“The purpose of our recent meditation gathering was to create a space for reflection and learning using, as our ‘portal’, three magnificent paintings collectively depicted in the Bible Society’s ‘Christian Book of the Year 2017’, Our Mob, God’s Story, which features over 115 paintings by 65 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists from around Australia,” says St Matthew’s, Holland Park parishioner, Randal Dennings
“In order to encourage and foster growth in disciples and discipleship, how are we as the Church called to respond to the emerging yearning for pilgrimage?” asks St Matthew’s, Holland Park parishioner Randal Dennings
Over the last 15 years or so, the ancient meditative practice of labyrinth walking has been gaining momentum across our Diocese: Randal Dennings, from St Matthew’s Church in Holland Park, introduces us to the history of labyrinths and local labyrinth activities
St Matthew’s, Holland Park parishioner Randal Dennings tells us about his parish’s partnership with Anglicare and how other ministry-minded parishioners can get involved as Anglicare Parish Ambassadors
St Matthew’s, Holland Park hosts the ecumenical ‘SEQ Friends of Nungalinya’ group, which seeks to raise awareness of and support the mission of Nungalinya College through prayer, volunteering and fundraising
