<strong>Contemplative</strong> <strong>Outreach</strong> Vision Statement<br />
<strong>Contemplative</strong> <strong>Outreach</strong> is a spiritual network of <strong>in</strong>dividuals and small faith communities<br />
committed to liv<strong>in</strong>g the contemplative dimension of the Gospel <strong>in</strong> everyday life through the<br />
practice of Center<strong>in</strong>g Prayer. The contemplative dimension of the Gospel manifests itself <strong>in</strong><br />
an ever-deepen<strong>in</strong>g union with the liv<strong>in</strong>g Christ and the practical car<strong>in</strong>g for others that flows<br />
from that relationship.<br />
Our purpose is to share the method of Center<strong>in</strong>g Prayer and its immediate conceptual<br />
background. We also encourage the practice of Lectio Div<strong>in</strong>a, particularly its movement <strong>in</strong>to<br />
<strong>Contemplative</strong> Prayer, which a regular and established practice of Center<strong>in</strong>g Prayer facilitates.<br />
We identify with the Christian <strong>Contemplative</strong> Heritage. While we are formed by our respective<br />
denom<strong>in</strong>ations, we are united <strong>in</strong> our common search for God and the experience of the liv<strong>in</strong>g<br />
Christ through Center<strong>in</strong>g Prayer. We affirm our solidarity with the contemplative dimension of<br />
other religions and sacred traditions, with the needs and rights of the whole human family, and<br />
with all creation.<br />
Network<strong>in</strong>g, resources, and workshop presenters are available<br />
at the <strong>Contemplative</strong> <strong>Outreach</strong> International Office. For<br />
