Course Information:

The appeal of Celtic spirituality has to be more than a desire to replicate the past in some romantic way.  This retreat will look at the treasures which have come down to us through the lives of the Celtic saints, whose faith was shaped on the anvil of an era of major cultural change. Come and be encouraged and challenged by the wisdom, passion and way of living these forefathers and mothers in the faith have bequeathed to us.

The retreat will be led by Revd. Roy Searle, one of the Founders of the new monastic, Northumbria Community. Roy is a former President of the Baptist Union of Great Britain, a member of the Renovaré Board in the UK and an associate of the Northumbrian Collective, The Commons Network, associate tutor at Cranmer Hall, Durham and Spurgeon’s College, London, a pioneer ambassador and advisor. He has travelled extensively throughout Britain and the rest of Europe, lives in his beloved Northumberland, and spends much of his time these days, writing, mentoring younger leaders, offering spiritual direction and advising leadership teams, churches and charities on the challenges and opportunities of living in a changing world. Roy is a popular retreat leader and we look forward to him being with us at Ammerdown for what promises to be an enlightening and encouraging retreat.
