Ancient Paths, New Horizons

Revd Roy Searle

Inspiration from the Celtic Saints to illumine our lives and the world today, led by Roy Searle of the Northumbria Community.

The appeal of Celtic spirituality has to be more than a desire to replicate the past in some romantic way. This retreat will look at the treasures which have come down to us through the lives of the Celtic saints whose faith was shaped on the anvil of an era of major cultural change. Come and be encouraged and challenged by the wisdom, passion and way for living these forefathers and mothers in the faith have bequeathed to us in our day in generation.

The retreat will be led by Revd. Roy Searle, one of the Founders of the new monastic, Northumbria Community. Roy is a former President of the Baptist Union of Great Britain, a member of the Renovaré Board in the UK and a Tutor in spirituality and missional leadership at Cranmer Hall, Durham and Spurgeons College, London. He lives in his beloved Northumberland and spends much of his time these days, writing, mentoring younger pioneers and missional leaders, offering spiritual direction and advising leadership teams, churches and charities on the challenges and opportunities of living is disciples of Christ in a changing world.
