The 2008 Quiet Day will be held on Saturday, June 14th in Cathedral College on the grounds of the Washington National Cathedral. The Day will focus on Evelyn Underhill's blending of personal prayer, corporate worship and social justice into a coherent life, one accessible to others through her writing. This year's Day will be guided by Rev. Canon Dr. Gerald Loweth. In his recent doctoral dissertation Canon Loweth examined Underhill's transition from a focus on private prayer, to worship, to a deeper involvement in the social issues of her time. In addition to two presentations, the Day, which runs from 9-3:30 p.m., will offer opportunities for private prayer and Eucharist.
Canon Loweth is retired from parochial ministry which took him from Connecticut to Hawaii to Toronto and which engaged him with social issues, particularly housing for the poor.
He continues to lead workshops and quiet days, is spiritual director for theological students at Trinity College, University of Toronto, and is preparing to teach a course on urban ministry. He is married to Elizabeth Ockenden Loweth and has four grown children and eight grandchildren.
