The Esssential Teaching Weekend was held this year from 15-17 August at St Paul’s House of Prayer in Sheung Shui. Participants from different denominations came together to learn from the speakers about the contemplative tradition, its history and important personages, stages of the spiritual journey and mostly to learn from each other. Through a structured programme amidst a warm community spirit, participants were able to gain a fuller appreciation of meditation and its value as a spiritual discipline. The design of the weekend allowed everyone to share, exchange and practice meditation together in a group setting mutually reinforcing each other’s practice.

今年在上水樂靜院舉行的核心教導週末營(ETW)已於八月十五至十七日，一如既往在團體的共融中順利完成。一眾參加者來自不同背景，同懷熱切學習的心積極參與，為是次週末營加添不少活力和色彩。WCCM核心教導週末營是為有意深化默禱認識的實踐者而設。參加者透過有序的課程，配合聖經的教導，學習基督徒默禱的靈修傳統，並領悟其可貴的獨特性。週末學習營的設計能讓大家在團體的互動中，分享、交流及一起實體實踐默禱，從個人到團體的層面上達致相輔相成的效果。
