Christian disciples often report “God is silent.” What is described as silence is experienced in one’s whole self – emotional, physical, and spiritual. Sometimes this experience moves to disturb and distress us. The questions rise, “Why is God so quiet? Why isn’t God doing anything? What am I to do?” This morning of reflection will explore these questions. The morning will include brief conferences, time for quiet reflection, and exploring this experience with others. The morning begins at 9:00 a.m. includes Celebration of the Eucharist, and departure at noon.
