2022 Stitt Oration

 Contemplative Practice in Times of Upheaval

Rev'd Stuart Fenner, an Anglican Priest and long-time friend of Dayspring, accepted the Guiding Committee's invitation to deliver the second Stitt Oration.  He explored the issue of contemplative practices in times of upheaval, as we have all been struggling through the COVID epidemic.

Stuart spoke without notes so we are unable to provide the text for this Oration.  We can only report that it was well received.

    These posts will consist of the texts of the orations given each year in honour of Brian & Patricia Stitt.  The first post in this Blog will outline the origins and purpose of the Stitt Oration - see below.
