Praying with Elizabeth of the Trinity and Ann Griffiths
February 28 @ 4:00 pm - March 2 @ 1:30 pm
£170
Elizabeth of the Trinity (1880-1906) was a French Carmelite nun and Ann Griffiths (1776–1805) a Welsh Protestant, best known for her hymns. They were separated by time, place, background and religious context but are strongly united in their devotion to God and their love for him. The retreat will introduce these two exceptional writers and their work, exploring their sense of God, their desire for him as a motivating factor in their lives, and their relationship with Jesus Christ. The focus will be on reflection and application, allowing time to enjoy the tranquillity of the Retreat Centre and its beautiful surroundings.
