Description
Advent Quiet Day, with Thomas Merton led by the Revd Dr Gary Hall, Methodist Tutor at the Queen’s Foundation and Merton Scholar.
Saturday will comprise three main sessions with an advent theme, about how Merton can assist our being open to the disruptive coming of God. There will be quiet time on Saturday afternoon, with reflective reading available.
Revd Dr Gary P. Hall is a Methodist minister and theological educator at the Queen’s Foundation, Birmingham. A former editor of The Merton Journal, he has taught and presented on Merton in the UK, Germany, India, US and Canada. Gary is an international adviser to the Board of the International Thomas Merton Society. During downtime, Gary may be found in the woods or by the sea; playing the blues or playing the fool with his grandson. Or at a gig. Or in the garden shed.
