Episcopal BU: Launching the Labyrinth Project

The Episcopal Chaplaincy at BU has made a portable labyrinth, which can be easily taken to a variety of locations and shared with the community. The labyrinth is designed to be easily portable and usable both indoors and outdoors, and was first launched in late September on BU's busy Marsh Plaza. 

"...The public quality of this exercise was actually part of the point," writes BU chaplain the Rev. Cameron Partridge. "This is was an intentionally strong exercise in contrast, the employment at a public crossroad of a practice that one might normally do in a church or similarly removed space.  In this context, the labyrinth took up, became, its own kind of crossroad. People came up to the Episcopal BU students as well as to me and asked about the labyrinth.  Some of these folks then walked it, while others did not.  Some, clearly familiar with it, simply found the entrance and walked right in. Several of them sat quietly, cross-legged in the center.  Others did something different at the center of the labyrinth -- and to me, this was the most intriguing thing of all: they struck up conversations-- with me, with chaplaincy students, with one another."
