Thin Places

Welcome.
Thin Places is an ecumenical newsletter with a particular interest in the contemplative spiritual journey (which is mailed free to all who request to receive it). Current and back issues are also available here online.
As many will remember, “thin places” is an early Celtic Christian metaphor for those times or places when the boundary between the sacred and the everyday feels “thin,” when God’s presence is more strongly felt.
Although available here online, we particularly welcome the opportunity to mail copies of each issue to all who ask. Now in its ninth year, nearly 1,500 readers—ranging from Mennonites and Quakers to Episcopalians and Catholics, including many clergy and religious—receive Thin Places in this way.
If you would like to receive future issues by mail, please send us an email.

If you know of an upcoming “Opportunity” that might be of interest to other readers, please share it with us. “Ongoing Opportunities” include special worship services, Taizé Prayers, Centering Prayer, and other small groups that happen or meet regularly, weekly or monthly. “One-Time Opportunities” are upcoming retreats or worship opportunities or gatherings for those who have a special interest in the contemplative. PLEASE DO SHARE with us what you know by email or by calling 612.866.8752.

Each May, on the second Thursday, readers and friends of Thin Places gather
in the quiet and beauty of a century-old Sanctuary to worship together as a
Community. A preview of this year's service is on Page 5 of the April/May issue.

Readers and friends are also invited to come together for a
contemplative Quiet Worship on the fourth Saturday of each month.
Read more about Quiet Worship services.

Thank you for visiting.
