Updating ways of praying
A labyrinth is an ideal spiritual tool which can be
used by churchgoers
as a way of praying and reflecting on life as a pilgrimage of faith.
Attracting those interested in
spirituality
A labyrinth can reach people who don’t relate to the church
as an institution but who are still interested in spirituality. St Faith’s
would stand out from other churches and attract new
people
Relearning
Christian tradition
The labyrinth has been used by
Christians for centuries as an aid to prayer, and would enable people to
reclaim ways of praying and reflecting about life.
A physical
activity for young and old alike
The labyrinth provides an
experience which children and adults can both enjoy. Walking the labyrinth is
an activity that can integrate head and heart – thoughts and feelings. St
Augustine once said, ”It is solved by walking.”
Building Community
When walking the labyrinth with others community takes place in new
ways. Christian life essentially lived as a community and anything which
build up our life in faith is valuable
