A prayerful exploration of the evolving story of the Bible
Understanding the Bible can be a bit of a challenge, especially those parts of the scriptures that are remote from our experience. Beginning with the different pictures of God and Jesus that it presents, this exploration helps us to understand the Bible as an evolving story. Meditative and imaginative prayer bring alive the different levels of truth, from the literal to the poetic and symbolic. Getting under the skin of the Bible, we see how ideas of hope and destiny, faith and morality developed alongside changes in life and experience.
Starts at 10am and finishes at 4pm. Please bring a packed lunch.
Cost: £35
Including B&B (Fri – Sat): £100
