“Schoolchildren and people with no religious background should be encouraged to try meditation as a way to help them understand Christianity, the Archbishop of Canterbury has suggested.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dr Rowan Williams said people in the modern world were struggling with \u201cchaotic\u201d emotions as a result of living in an \u201cinsane\u201d consumerist society driven by advertising and the banking system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He called for a revival of centuries-old monastic traditions to help people become \u201cproperly human\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

His call came during an important address to the Pope and the leaders of the Roman Catholic Church from around the world at the Vatican last night.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Benedict XVI invited Dr Williams, as leader of the Anglican Communion, as well as the Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, to address the Synod of Bishops in a gesture of reconciliation with other churches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The gathering had been discussing how the Catholic Church, with its traditions, can reach out to increasingly secular societies. Dr Williams used his address to urge the Church to revive traditions of silent prayer and meditation, as practised by Benedictine monks. Click here <\/a>to continue reading.<\/p>\n
