In Exodus, Yahweh gives Moses his name – I am who I am. This is picked up in John’s Gospel in what have come to be known as the I am statements of Jesus …
- I am the Bread of Life
- I am the Light of the World
- I am the Door
- I am the Good Shepherd
- I am the Resurrection and the Life
- I am the Way and the Truth and the Life
- I am the Vine
In this retreat we will pray with and through the I am statements of Jesus in John’s gospel. Using the textile art of Jane Allen we will engage with each of the I am statements of Jesus in turn. We will also pray with the narrative of the woman at the well using the artwork of Sarah Bird and the words of Jesus: I, the one speaking to you, I am He. There will be an invitation to use more traditional ways of praying with the text, including lectio divina and imaginative contemplation. There will also be the invitation to use clay and other art and craft materials to pray in a way that enables us to meet and talk with God through more creative approaches.
This retreat will be led by Chris and Rhona Knight.
