Tuesday Meetings

We meet for an hour on the first and third Tuesday in each month. Each year we adopt a new ‘theme’ which gives shape and focus to each of our meetings. 


We start each meeting with an introduction to the evening. There follows a period of readings, prayers and poems interspersed with short periods of silence for reflection. This period leads to our main period of silence (typically 20 minutes) which provides an opportunity to sink into a deeper place with a suspension of the ego and active thinking, called contemplation. This period of silence is followed by a conclusion, and a short discussion. 


We normally meet on Zoom, gathering from 7:15 pm for a 7:30 pm start, and finishing by 8:30pm. For a link, please email bestillchichester@btinternet.com . 

We resume meeting in person on 26th June, again gathering from 7:15pm for a 7:30pm start and finishing by 8:30pm.  

Further in-person meetings will follow on 24th July, 23rd October, and 27th November. 

For details, please contact us by email or telephone 01243 839922.

From December, with the start of the new Church Year, and through 2025, we shall be using the works of Thomas Merton, reflecting on the following topics, based on the book 'the Art of Thomas Merton' by John Moses:
