The technology of the twenty-first century makes it possible for persons living in the United States to be almost constantly connected to one another. Because of this, and for many other reasons, it can be increasingly difficult to find the time and space to connect with God. Many people hunger for silence and stillness, opportunities to listen for God’s voice and do nothing more than focus on our journey with God. Some have found this sacred space in a labyrinth.
Although labyrinths have been used by almost every culture and religion since antiquity, the last decade has seen a resurgence in the use of labyrinths in the United States. As both Christians and non-Christians have expressed a need for spiritual disciplines, labyrinths have appeared in hospitals, schools and community-building programs, as well as in an increasing number of mainline churches.
