A new podcast from Cassidy Hall and the Christian Century examining the intersection of queerness and contemplative life. Based on her forthcoming book, Queering Contemplation: Finding Queerness in the Roots and Future of Contemplative Spirituality (Broadleaf, 2024). The world of contemplative Christianity has yielded to the same voices for far too long, many of whom are from centuries before our time, with lives unlike our own, and often from experiences disconnected from marginalization, oppression, and what it feels like to be an outsider. Cassidy Hall, an LGBTQIA+ Christian contemplative scholar and podcast host, takes us on a journey to queer the contemplative tradition. For Hall, queering is not solely about identifying as queer or applying queer theory; it is about what is gained by seeing things differently. 'Queer,' she says, 'is the way I tilt my head to look at the world.' As queerness reawakened her own contemplative life, Hall discovered that queering and questioning the tradition allowed her to listen more closely to voices that are queer, marginalized, and oppressed--voices that have long existed but have often been overlooked or silenced. For Hall, that also meant moving differently into contemplation, into silence, into liminality and ritual. In showing us the way, she helps us envision what contemplative faith can look like, what spiritual spaces we can reclaim for welcome--and how queering contemplation, and lifting up queer contemplative voices, frees us to seek the infinite possibility of our own identity and engage our spiritual lives with open hearts and open hands.  more

Quiet Paths is a pattern of daily prayer (with accompanying prayer book) to help us spend time in God's presence each day.

The readings are short, chosen to encourage reflection, whether at the breakfast table with others or listening in private or on the way to work.In a busy-busy world, where the twin voices of demand and discouragement cry out on all sides, Quiet Paths offers a simple invitation: come to Christ and rest, be still before him, and have your heart re-tuned to the music of God's grace. more
