Sacred Hour Small Groups
This semester our small groups will center around the question of what it means to be Contemplative in Action. There will be four separate groups offered, each meeting in one of our wonderful campus reflection spaces, and each considering action and contemplation through a particular lens:

• Shaun Johnson and Rabbi Sid Vineburg will lead a group that meets in the Campus Center Reflection Lounge. Their group will explore contemplation and action through the lens of Judaism.
• Fr. Sal Cuccia will lead a group that meets in the church parlor at Old St. Joseph Church. This group repeats the fall sessions, exploring Norbertine perspectives on action and contemplation as found in Scripture, the Rule of Augustine, and the constitutions.
• Julie Massey will lead a group that meets in the Alumni House. This group will consider exemplars of the commitment to contemplation and action: Thomas Merton, Edwina Gateley, and Mohandas K. Gandhi.
• Sandy Murphy will lead a group that meets in the third floor reflection space of the Mulva Library. This group repeats the fall sessions, exploring personal contemplation through: obstacles one may encounter, tools one can use, and gifts one may receive when engaging in this practice.
