Over the days of this retreat we will look at the central elements of the Christian faith. Starting from the presence among us of the Crucified and Risen Jesus made alive by the Holy Spirit, we will begin to see how each one of the traditional ways of looking at what Jesus was about, and what he did for us, can be lived by us now. So notions of Creation, Sacrifice, forgiveness, Holy Spirit, Church, Scripture and teaching will be put forward in ways that will help participants to find themselves both insiders in the living mystery, and better informed about the basics of faith. Much use will be made of scriptural texts, so all participants should bring, or have available, a Bible.
