ONGOING FORMATION EVENT:
‘God in all this’
led by Julian Maddock
How can we embody a sense of Presence – God here and now – in our ministry?
Julian writes, “Once upon a time, in an unguarded moment, I said, ‘I don’t like the question, “Where is God in all this?”’ As the dust was settling, I scrambled to justify myself. This is not the question that Ignatius asks. The Presence is assumed. He asks about desire and the movements of spirits. He invites colloquy. In these training sessions, I’m interested in how we cultivate presence and curate a space for others in which God may be encountered.”

In the words of Monica Furlong, these “have lent purpose and order to a not particularly orderly or exemplary life.” I write at www.thisbody.info.
Bursary and Development Fund
In view of the fact that the Bursary fund has not often been used in recent years – in large part, due to the generosity of the Society of Retreat Conductors – the Leadership Team is proposing to broaden its scope.
