Forum on Silence from St Mary's Cathedral, Glasgow on Vimeo.
Somehow I managed to forget to publish this video on the blog but it is worth taking a look. It came from a forum conversation that I had with the Vice Provost, Cedric Blakey the other week.
The point of this was to have a public chat about the way Cedric prays. One of the odd things about church is that individuals very rarely talk about their own personal spirituality and I was grateful to Cedric for being so open to having this discussion.
We talk about this and also about:
- whether God dictates answers to us
- how breathing is integral to prayer
- how to teach someone to pray
- if you fall asleep whilst doing breathing exercises is that a sign of it working?
- do single people need to spend time in silence?
- how silence is golden.
The video is a fairly short forum conversation – just 20 minutes.
