Roll Over Menno

At Lighthouse Trails Research there is a very good article about the Catholic connection and contemplative spirituality. It’s a ten page (PDF) article written by a Mennonite named David Burkey that can be found halfway down the page on the left, under Related Articles, here:

Also at the Lighthouse blog there is a new post about the labyrinth at EMU:

Of course, this is not the only Mennonite campus that promotes this kind of contemplative spirituality. There are more on this list:

Christian Colleges and Seminaries Promoting Contemplative, Interspiritual and/or Emerging Spirituality.
