Praying With Beads

Prayer in the Tradition of the World’s Great Religions

Whether they call them males, mascaras, tarsi or rosaries, members of the great world religions—Hinduism, Judaism, Islam and Christianity—have been praying with beads and strings for centuries.  During the month dedicated by religious leaders to unity among the world’s great religions, come and examine the commonalities and distinctiveness in prayer forms that use beads or string as a way of deepening the devotee’s encounter with the Sacred.
     
Each participant will have the opportunity to experience prayer in a new way and to create a set of beads to take home with them that enhances their current practice or introduces them to praying in a new way.
