November Quiet Day: Praying with the Psalms – Love and Lament ***FULLY BOOKED***
£46
Monday 3rd November, 2025 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
Our chaplain, Catherine, will be reflecting with us on some themes from the Psalms. The Biblical scholar and teacher, Walter Brueggemann, developed a helpful way of categorising Psalms, noticing that some are focused on ‘orientation’, at times when life makes sense, ‘disorientation’, when life does not make sense and ‘re-orientation’ as we shift our focus to the future. Catherine will be drawing out some of these themes from our chosen Psalms for the day, allowing plenty of time and space for participants to pray, walk and listen to God as well.
Led by Revd Catherine Wright.
Before coming to work at Launde Abbey in 2023, Catherine previously served as Director of Ministerial Formation at Ridley Hall and taught Christian History and Spirituality in the Cambridge Federation. Prior to that, she spent twelve years in the Diocese of Bath and Wells as Diocesan Director of Ordinands and Dean of Women Clergy. Her passion is to help disciples of Christ deepen their spiritual life and engage in worship, work, and mission. She is one of our College of Chaplains at Launde Abbey.
Catherine is married to Geoff Boucher, who is also ordained. Together, they enjoy long-distance walking, particularly along the South West Coastal Path and in the Derbyshire Peak District.
Quiet Day price: £46 includes lunch and coffee and tea throughout the day.
