Online reflective morning…

Apr 11 Posted by Rebecca Young. Under Virtual Retreat,

An online reflective morning led by Kate Monkhouse “Love God, and love your neighbour as yourself” Jesus told us. What if our everyday encounters with other people were rooted and grounded in love (Ephesians 3:17)? Many of our spiritual traditions emphasize spending time alone with God as a source of refreshment and inspiration. What if God also longs to meet us in our daily dealings with others? Every day, in person and online, we are meeting people with different backgrounds, opinions and values. Many of us are doing our best to navigate fracture lines in…

Thomas Keating OCSO Method Leaflet In this reflective morning, Jill will lead us in the Method of Centering Prayer, touching on its roots, psychological background, and principal teacher, Fr.…

Apr 13 Posted by Rebecca Young. Under Virtual Retreat,

‘A Cloud of Witnesses’ What can we learn from the witness of people like Abraham and Sarah, Jeremiah, Job, Naomi and Ruth about the shape of God’s invitation to us?  Their journeys, struggles, hopes and prayers are not so different from our own. In this 5 week series we look back to faith journeys within the Jewish tradition – the rock from which our own religious traditions are hewn.  What wisdom might we discover for our own times?  To register of login see here: https://staugustinescollege.ac.uk/login. Introduction by the retreat leader, Chris Chapman, here.
