WHAT ARE THE COMMUNIONS AND CONTEMPLATIONS?
Much of our spiritual practice is done individually and on a daily basis. Like other Essene faiths, daily communions and contemplations are an integral part of our spiritual practice. Unlike other Essene faiths, we do not see the communions and contemplations as a necessary order or method of worship. Rather, we see them as an efficient and helpful arrangement that allows us to worship all aspects of our faith completely each week, ever deepening our understanding of and alignment with the Living Law. Following them verbatim or in the same order as prescribed is not necessary for our faith. The living word of God can be studied, worshiped and the Law followed without this formal practice. The choice is left to the individual. These communions and contemplations are described in further detail on our Communions and Contemplations page.
