James Roberts and Liz Dodd talk about the late Thomas Keating

 

Liz Dodd, The Tablet's Home News editor, and James Roberts, the Foreign News Editor, discuss the impact that Trappist contemplative Thomas Keating made on their lives. Liz discovered Centring Prayer, that he developed and taught, on the most arduous part of her astonishing cycle journey around the world. James spent a three-day retreat with Keating in 2009. Keating taught that division could be overcome through allowing ourselves to be discovered by God in silent prayer. Did their experiences help them reconcile their own divergent views?
