CHRISTIAN EVOLUTION – From our roots to our future

Friday 26 November to Sunday 28 November

Residential: £185, Non-residential: £123

Please arrive by 6pm on Friday. Course ends with lunch on Sunday.

Our world is experiencing an intense period of transition and change in which traditional institutions and individuals are being challenged to move towards new horizons. During this weekend we will explore together the new directions that are emerging within Christianity and how these can be seen to have grown naturally from our roots.

Our exploration will include deepening our understanding of such teachings as:

“A New Vision of reality” (Ev. Bede Griffiths)
“Reverence for all life” (Albert Schweitzer)
“Harnessing for God the energy of Love” (Teilhard de Chardin)
“Omnes hominess, unus homo” (“All humanity, one person”) (Thomas Aquinas)
“Humankind is called to co-create (Hildegard of Bingen)

During the weekend we will also reflect on what we are being called to, in the light of our new understanding and how we envisage our service in the world. This will be done in a participative and experiential way. Depending on the participants’ wishes, group discussions may cover any number of issues, from Contemplative Prayer and Contemporary Holistic Spirituality to Rediscovering the Feminine.
