Spiritual Memoir

The Spiritual Memoir Project

Our lives are shaped by what we recollect, through our search for meaning, in the lessons we have learned along the way, and by what has been passed down to us. Spiritual Memoir honours what is sacred and meaningful in our lives.

Spiritual memoir is passed along in stories written down, in diaries, in journals, in letters and quilts, through family recipes, genealogies and heirlooms. It is our legacy.

On this page you will find recollections and resources to prompt your spiritual memoir. You can listen to audio recordings that speak of insight, a lesson learned, or legacy passed on. Enjoy! There will be more as the project unfolds.

Project Partners

The Prayer Bench joins energies with Visions United Church in Moncton, NB. This creative faith community is about celebrating life and spirituality. Rooted in the Christian wisdom tradition, the Prayer Bench offers soul deepening resources online. Together, we are working on this project.

We are grateful for the generosity of The United Church of Canada through a Seeds of Hope Grant and the Maritime Conference Bequest Fund.

Please contact Janice if you have recollections or resources to contribute to the webpage or if you wish to financially support this project.
