Peter Traben Haas

Rev., Dr. Peter Traben Haas rises each morning watching the light shade from dark to dawn, and the still silence births words. His aim as a pastor and writer is to deepen spiritual fecundity by exploring biblical wisdom paired with the devotional longings of the heart. He has been an ordained Teaching Pastor in the Presbyterian Church (USA) for over 25 years. Peter earned a B.A. from Moody Bible, an M.Div. from Princeton Seminary, and a Doctor of Ministry from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary. Peter is the author of multiple books in the contemplative stream, such as "Contemplative Church" and the widely read series of profound daily prayers in Paraclete Press' book series, "Centering Prayers." Peter currently serves as Pastor at Christ Presbyterian Church in Telluride, Colorado and is an esteemed guest teacher and Centering Prayer retreat leader. And for many years Peter served at Minister of the world's largest contemplative church, The Church of Conscious Harmony, in Austin, Texas.
