Mindful Monastic Meal
Angela Ivey • March 23, 2023
A Message from Pastor Chris
I need your help with a seminary class project. I am inviting you to participate in a modern-day version of a practice done by early Christian monks. It’s pretty easy. Just one night a week I would like you to commit to eating only vegetables and bread (prepared however you like), and drinking only water or wine. Directly following the meal, you will spend at least 15 minutes in any combination of prayer, meditation, silent reflection, or hymn singing. This is all to be done in your own home; no group meetings. Depending on the participants' communication abilities, I will create a discussion forum of some sort, where you can share your experiences, thoughts, and even some vegetable recipes!
This is open to anyone. If you would like to participate please email or text me or let me know in person. (Chris Hester 678-936-5127, chrishester23@gmail.com)
Please help. My grade depends on it 😁.
Thank you!
Pastor Chris Hester
