 Lectio Divina, Praying The Scriptures

  The Anglican Fellowship of Prayer (AFP) will host the Fall Biblical Institute at TODDHALL, an Episcopal  Retreat and Conference Center in Columbia, IL (near St. Louis, MO), on October 6 - 8, 2006. Once again we have an excellent speaker, the Reverend Brendan Moss, O.S.B., a Benedictine Monk of Saint Meinrad Archabbey (Roman Catholic), Saint Meinrad, IN.  Father Moss will give four talks on Lectio Divina, Praying the Scriptures.  Fr. Moss has just completed his Doctor of Ministry work in Homiletics at Aquinas Institute in St. Louis.

   Lodging and meals at TODDHALL Retreat and Conference Center are included in the price of registration. TODDHALL is located in the scenic autumn hills overlooking Columbia, IL, ten miles south of St. Louis and only 45 minutes from the airport; see www.toddhallrc.org for precise directions. Freeways I-55, I-70 and I-255 provide easy access to State Highways 3 and 158 (TODDHALL is accessed from 158). Meandering paths, flowering gardens, outdoor Stations of the Cross and a meditative labyrinth are some of the amenities of this peaceful sanctuary.  The St. Cecilia's Chapel has a wood accented interior with stained glass windows and a magnificent Wicks Pipe organ.  It is an inviting place for meditation, contemplation and worship.

   We will begin Friday night with a welcome and Evening Prayer at 7:00 pm followed by Father Moss's first address. Saturday will include three meditations by Fr. Moss, Holy Eucharist, an open discussion period, and time for fellowship and relaxation. There will be Morning Prayer after breakfast on Sunday. Click here for full schedule.
