Celebrating 50 Years
Fifty years ago, Tilden Edwards
gathered a small group who
longed to go deeper in prayer,
seeking to recover the Christian
contemplative tradition. As they
met and prayed, they discovered
that God longed for them even
more than they longed for God.
They were drawn deep into the
heart of God.
– Margaret Benefiel, Celebrating 50 Years
