About this meeting

Ramsbottom Step 11 Prayer & Meditation is a quieter kind of Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, held on Friday evenings at 7.30pm at St Pauls Church on Bridge Street and running for an hour and three quarters. Step 11 concerns prayer and meditation, and the meeting gives space to that side of the programme, making it a calm end to the week and a contrast to busier discussion formats. It is an open meeting, so anyone may attend, whatever their beliefs; AA is not aligned with any religion despite meeting in church buildings. The venue is listed as wheelchair accessible. There is no charge and no booking, and newcomers are welcome to simply sit quietly.

Common questions

Do I have to be religious to attend?

No. AA is not a religious organisation and asks for no beliefs of any kind. Step 11 meetings explore prayer and meditation as each person understands them, and plenty of attendees are not religious at all.

Who can come to this meeting?

Anyone. It is an open meeting, so people concerned about their own drinking, family, friends and professionals are all welcome.

How long does it last and is it accessible?

It runs for an hour and three quarters from 7.30pm on Fridays. St Pauls Church on Bridge Street is listed as wheelchair accessible, and attendance is free.
