Meteora's monasteries, perched on rock pillars, are one of the most striking sights in Greece. For a church group, they raise questions worth discussing.
Talk about the monastic calling
Monks came here for silence and prayer. Discuss what it means to withdraw for God, and how that differs from the calling of most believers.
Visit a monastery together
The accessible monasteries welcome groups. Light a candle and spend a few minutes in quiet prayer.
Discuss the balance of retreat and witness
Meteora is a place set apart. Ask your group how a church can both withdraw for prayer and remain present for witness.
