The Fellowship of Contemplative Prayer (FCP) is a loose-knit association of individuals and small groups who follow the way of prayer taught by the founder, Robert Coulson. The founder was an Anglican priest (died 1995) who commended a simple yet profound method of prayer based on the Holy Scriptures as the Word of God. The method was followed, first by a small number of clergy, then by others in increasing numbers who recognised the value of learning the discipline of listening to the Word of God which is 'spirit and life' (John 6.63). |
The Fellowship follows a simple Rule of daily prayer. The Rule is accepted for 12 months at a time.

the U.S.A., in South Africa and in Australia. 
In
the U.K. the Fellowship is a registered charity (No. 298850) and is
administered by the five Trustees and three other members who together
form the Council. There are no paid staff and no central office.
