Voices of Advent

£336

In this retreat, we will be reflecting on the wonder of God’s love, shown through the Incarnation, as we contemplate the voices of some of those involved in the gospel birth accounts. We will journey and reflect with the hopes and fears of Zechariah and Elizabeth, with the acceptance of Mary, with the righteousness of Joseph, with the enthusiasm of the shepherds, with the patience of Simeon and Anna, and with the worship of the magi. We will also be considering the voices of the gospel writers and what they are seeking to impress on us in their accounts. Finally, with the voices of the angels, God’s heavenly messengers, in our minds, we will review and discern how God has particularly spoken to us through the voices we have heard.

Led by Revd Rhona Knight and Chris Knight.

Chris was a research scientist for many years until he changed direction after completing a PhD in Apologetics, working in the area of apologetics and teaching doctrine at Lincoln School of Theology. Now retired, he has more time to enjoy chess, bird watching and photography. He is married to Rhona and they have three grown sons.

Rhona is a member of the College of Chaplains at Launde Abbey. She is a theological educator, pastoral supervisor and spiritual director and is the author of a number of books and resources on discipleship and spirituality. She is currently researching trauma and moral injury in ministry.
