Cumbria:
unique holiday retreat for young adults at Boarbank Hall
The fourth Thinking Faith week will take place this July at Boarbank
Hall in Cumbria. This is provides a unique mix of holiday, retreat
and study week for Catholic students and young. The organisers
met as students, when they lived together as part of a mixed lay-religious
Dominican community,
overlapping for some of the time with Fr Timothy Radcliffe. They
now want to pass on to younger Catholics their experience of community
living, and of reflecting on their faith from their own professional
contexts. The week is hosted by the Augustinian sisters, whose
beautiful convent and guest house has a stunning view over Morecambe
Bay. There will also be opportunity to explore the local area
and walk in the Lake District.
This year's topics will include the Human Fertility and Embryology Bill, Richard Dawkins on God, the origins of the Easter liturgy, the film 'Atonement', St Augustine in art, and the encyclicals of Benedict XVI. Fr Timothy Radcliffe has once again given THINKING FAITH his personal recommendation.
July 19-25th 2008. For more information,
