The Labyrinth

The 11-circuit labyrinth in the carpet pattern of Wesley hall is a replica of the 10th-century design found in the cathedral in Charters, France. The labyrinth has a rich history that spans 4,000 years.

A labyrinth is not a maze. A maze is designed with numerous turns and dead-ends. The labyrinth is a single path leads to the center and out from the center. Claimed by Christians during the crusades, the labyrinth was used as a prayer and meditation tool.

Labyrinths are now found throughout the world in churches, hospitals, city parks,university campuses, and private homes. The labyrinth’s use as a tool for spiritual growth continues today.

Our labyrinthin Wesley Hall is open tuesdaysand  Thursdays, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., for those who wish to pray. Sometimes the labyrinth is open for special worship services or other occasions. Sometimes scheduling conflicts cause the labyrinth to be closed on a Tuesday or Thursday. Look for the sandwich board signs outside the building on Lee Street that indicate the labyrinth is open. Or call the church at (501) 664-3600.
