A Journey into Silence
Leaders: Revd Peter Doodes and Fiona Bower
It’s not totally silent (!) but please read on. Silence is a rare commodity in today’s world, but the need for silence in order to contact and communicate with God is a fact, and here that opportunity will arise. You will be doing all of this without the constant pressures of an ever-nagging news media doing their calculated level best to wrench your thoughts and minds from what is really important in your life. Therefore, so we can all take advantage of what we have learned, each day of this retreat will be a separate journey into silence.

The Trinity. Obstacle to faith or gateway to love

The Doctrine of the Trinity is the great Christian idea about God. However, it’s one of those things you sort of know you have to believe to be orthodox, but hope you never have to explain! This 24 hour retreat will be devotional more than heavily theological, but I hope will take us on a journey into the heart of God that brings life and hope.
