Welcome to Integritas

Shortly after contemplative prayer commenced at this centre in September, 2000, we were joined by a local, retired priest, Fr. John Reynolds. He had a great interest in and love for iconography. Over the next number of years, he attended regularly at the evenings of prayer here and gradually, a number of icons, written by his hand, came to live here. He died on December 12th, 2009 having left the following eight icons at this centre :

Different icons are chosen for contemplative here prayer depending on the liturgical season and the spiritual theme which is being explored at a particular time.

Furthermore, this centre searches for an ecumenical Christian spirituality. The pondering of these icons is also an act of honouring the Orthodox tradition of the Christian faith, which has gifted us with a profound understanding and respect for the divine gift of iconography.
