“The hope of humanity today is to get beyond the experience of duality” 

 Bede Griffiths

Bede Griffiths was a mystic who pioneered the contemporary revival of contemplative or ‘wisdom’ Christianity.

Fr Bede experienced the non-dual unity at the heart of Life and at the heart of all religions. He was described by the late Cardinal Basil Hume as a “mystic in touch with unconditional love and beauty”. His Holiness the Dalai Lama said, “His vision has guided him to open the hearts and minds of mankind to gain understanding and acceptance of all the major religions with respect and dignity”.

The Sangha was founded after Fr Bede’s death in 1993, as a community of friendship and as a resource of information and inspiration. It is for people all over the world who seek the renewal of contemplative life, inspired by the non-dual unity at the heart of Life, the need for the meeting of all religions at this deep level, and the exploration of Christianity in the light of the spirituality and philosophy of other faith traditions.
