Father Basil Pennington 

Cistercian priest, monk and Abbot Emeritus of Holy Spirit Abbey in Conyers, Georgia; author of numerous books and articles on Centering Prayer, Lectio Divina, and many facets of contemplative living. 

Fr. Basil passed away on the third of June as a result of serious injuries sustained in an automobile accident.

Fourteenth Annual United in Prayer Day

Please join us for the 14th Annual United in Prayer Day 
to be held Saturday, March 18, 2006.

This day has traditionally celebrated the worldwide network of Contemplative Outreach, Ltd., united in a single bond of Centering Prayer around the globe. Please check our website www.contemplativeoutreach.org for further details.

In celebration of this gift of contemplative life, I offer you two invitations:

  1. Join us in continuing to build the Body of Christ through a committed life of practice by participating in The Contemplative Life Program in 2006. You will find details about the program elsewhere in this newsletter and on our website. 

  2. Help us to convert the heart of the world by financially supporting the work of Contemplative Outreach. As an international nonprofit supporting silence, solitude and service in 30 countries, we depend on your donations and financial support to bring our programs and teachings to others like you. If you believe in transforming the heart of the world, make your contribution or tithe to Contemplative Outreach today. We are in desperate need of your financial support to continue our work around the world.

Editor’s Note: Thanks, Gail. Truth be told, working on the newsletter affords me the opportunity to interact with incredible spirit-filled people from around the world — even if it’s not always personally but through their updates and articles. I’m truly blessed. It’s given me a real sense of the oneness of us all.
