GUESTS NOT HOSTS
A Led retreat by Rev Liz Crumlish 3rd May – 10thMay 2025 GUESTS NOT HOSTS
What does it mean to inhabit the earth as guests, not hosts?
Amidst the ancient stories and beaches of Iona, saturated with myths and legends of life and faith, we will take time to consider how we are sustained by creation and by the God of Creation in whose image we are fearfully and wonderfully made.
Through poetry and image, we will consider stories of Biblical women who show us how to be passionately involved with life and faith for such a time as this.
