small groups wishing to benefit from its calm atmosphere and the gift of
space away from the ongoing busyness of daily life.

of Durham City, England, the Priory captures a magnificent panorama of
the Cathedral and Castle, viewed from its pleasant gardens. It offers a
peaceful opportunity for those seeking relaxation and refreshment.
Formerly the vicarage of St

drawn from differing denominations and none;

Prayer guiding by women and men from different
denominations and trained in spiritual direction;

clergy, lay people, chaplaincy teams and others;

committed to working together in a shared ministry of prayer
guiding;

counselling and spiritual guidance.

Praying
With Children in UK schools is one of the initiatives
being taken by St Antony's Priory. Staff member, Margaret
Hinshelwood, herself once a head teacher, describes how giving
young pupils the chance to pray and reflect produced a school
with a more peaceful and loving atmosphere. Pupils and staff
came to respect self and others more deeply. |
