the st james's julian group
A Julian Meeting is a small group of people (usually 6-15) who meet regularly for silent contemplative prayer in the Christian tradition. We teach no specific method but encourage people to find what is right for them. Some meetings are held in churches, others in private houses. Some meetings may be followed by discussion and refreshments; at others people may come and leave in silence. A brief reading and/or music may introduce the silence and lead out at the end.
The movement was named after Julian of Norwich, a fourteenth century mystic, because several founder members came from Norfolk and were familiar with Mother Julian and her precept that the highest form of prayer consists in simply waiting on God.
