DIOCESAN LABYRINTHS!
World Labyrinth Day (May 2) drew attention to labyrinths across the globe, including those within our diocese. Labyrinths have been used by diverse cultures throughout history as a pilgrimage to quiet the mind, become present, seek guidance, and build deeper relationships with self, community, and God. Here are a few of ours that are worth a visit!
Christ Church in Exeter has a labyrinth designed by the Rev. Reed Loy as his Eagle Scout project over twenty years ago! He spent 30 hours planning it and 50 hours building it, with an additional 200 hours of labor from the community. The church often hosts community labyrinth walks.
St. Andrews in New London has a sacred “Santa Rosa” labyrinth. It was built in 2007 in one day by the hands of the entire community. The rocks were supplied and continue to be placed there by individuals on their personal spiritual journeys.
St. Peter’s in Londonderry has a seven-circuit labyrinth outlined in brick with a mulched path. It was built in 2005 by a parishioner and member of the youth group for his Eagle Scout project and resides behind the sanctuary.
The Community Labyrinth Project at All Saints in Wolfeboro has created social media buzz. In April, a post about the project went viral and the Labyrinth Society made a financial donation to the St. Paul’s style labyrinth—a modern version of the Chartres Cathedral in France. The courtyard labyrinth is expected to be completed this summer for the church and community.
