Sacred Writing in Darkness

Details

Poets Shana Rose, parishioner at St. Luke’s, Portland, and Julia Baker, Mercy Hospital chaplain and parishioner at St. Alban’s, Cape Elizabeth, have announced the next dates for their new ecumenical ministry. “Sacred Writings in Darkness.” Held in the cathedral’s Emmanuel Chapel, these monthly sessions each have a different theme and offer a time for guided sacred writing, including poetry, prayers, songs, and vignettes. The gatherings are designed to help spiritually feed participants’ longing for respite from the current chaos of our wider world. They begin with Julia and Shana providing simple grounding content—a prayer or brief message—followed by time for participants to write with a period at the end to share their completed work.
