The Labyrinth is an ancient meditative and spiritual tool found in almost all religious traditions in various forms throughout the world. By walking the Labyrinth, you follow tradition steeped in spiritual mystery across time. Unlike a maze, the Labyrinth has only one path in and one path out. You cannot get lost because there are no branches, no tricks, no dead ends. It’s a journey where you bring your own intentions and you walk at your own pace, each one of your steps unique, every turn your own. Walk, search, and follow your path with an open heart and an open mind, knowing that as you walk, you are reflecting the twists and turns of your own journey in life.
The All Saints Labyrinth Ministry members explain the Labyrinth mystery to newcomers, answer any questions walkers may have about the Labyrinth, and guide walkers to resources that will further enrich their Labyrinth experiences. We seek to bring the Labyrinth more completely to the All Saints community and to the community at large. One of our Labyrinths is a replica of the Labyrinth laid in Chartres Cathedral in France around 1220. Our outdoor Labyrinth is just down the steps from the South Transept that is open to all 24/7.
The AS Labyrinth Ministry meets quarterly after the 10:00 am service to share a potluck lunch, walk/pray the Labyrinth, and share our walking experiences. Other meetings will be determined as needed.
Ministry leaders are Margie Hope and Rich Hope.
