Meditation in Prison

James Bishop, speaking at Georgetown University, March 2013

James Bishop will be speaking about Meditation in Prison on Saturday, 24 February at St. John of the Cross Parish Center in Western Springs, Illinois. James Bishop, an oblate of The World Community for Christian Meditation, spent ten years as an inmate in the California Substance Abuse Treatment Center and State Prison. While there, he discovered Christian meditation. And it changed his life. James, who suffered as an alcoholic with severe obsessive compulsive disorder, tells a compelling story of tragedy and triumph, and how Christian Meditation helped him discover the causes of his problems as well as how to deal with them.

“Few people would be grateful for having spent ten years in prison. But James Bishop was imprisoned for a decade, and hails it as a lifesaver.”
‐Mary O’Regan, Catholic Herald, London

Saturday, February 24, 2018, 9:00 am – 11:30 am, hospitality 8:30 am, at St. John of the Cross Parish Center, 5005 Wolf Road, Western Springs, IL.
