Circles of Silence

Circles of Silence explores the theme of prayer in both poetry and prose, with contributions from a number of illustrious writers, among them Richard Harries, Gerard W Hughes, Kenneth Leech, Rowan Williams and Ester de Waal. There are extracts sharing personal experiences of prayer and focusing on places of prayer and pilgrimage, on silence, and on the many aspects of, and approaches to, contemplative prayer. This book is an ideal introduction for those who are new to contemplative prayer and an inspiration for those already engaged in it.
