Center-L -- Centering Prayer Discussion List
About Center-L	English (USA)
The Center-L mailing list is for the discussion of Christian contemplative prayer, with a particular emphasis on the practice of Centering Prayer, which is based on the 14th century English text _The Cloud of Unknowing_ and was developed into its present form by Frs. Thomas Keating, William Meninger and M. Basil Pennington at St. Joseph's Abbey in Spencer, Massachusetts. Discussion of related contemplative practices, such as _Lectio Divina_, hesychastic prayer (e.g. the Jesus Prayer) and so forth, is certainly encouraged. This mailing list will hopefully be a vehicle for creating an Internet-based community of practitioners of Centering Prayer, as well as a method of outreach for those who are interested in getting more information on the subject. To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the Center-L Archives. (The current archive is only available to the list members.)
