Summer School 2006

Monday July 31st - Friday 4th August, 10:00-4:00
Each day: A day with a Christian missionary or teacher

2006's summer school took on the theme of mission, looking this time at five missionaries or teachers across the breadth of christian history, and was again well received by those who took part, (typically 10-12 people per day from a pool of around 20, with one or two "bumper days" -- all in all there were 68 days booked). Feedback from the participants include

Desmond Tutu: I found the information about Desmond Tutu inspirational and was somewhat surprised at the relevance of his theology to me as an individual in everyday living.
George Bennett: The gentle way of introducing the topic of healing today. Excellent input in the morning and plenty of space in the afternoon.
St Ignatius: The leader presented it in a down-to-earth approach which people could use in everyday matters. I had come looking for a way to help me reintroduce some spiritual discipline -- I have not been disappointed.
Vincent Donovan: A great day -- stimulating, creative and enlightening. The Masai liturgy was interesting...
St Thomas Aquinas: Excellent paper -- real meat! Liked the balance of history and theology and the meditations.
Excellent lunch! Nice to talk with some like-minded people...

Summer School 2005

The 2005 summer school was well received by those who took part, (typically 12 people per day from a pool of about 18), as we looked at and drew inspiration from Hildegard of Bingen, John Chrysostom, Lancelot Andrewes, T.S.Eliot and Claire of Assisi, with many commenting on how their lives had been deeply touched and changed.
