| The week got off to a good start (and a snowy one) as we were joined at AFC by the other Clergy and Congregations of COTHA - Churches on The Hill Amersham. Sharon preached a brilliant sermon on the Wedding Feast at Cana! |
 |
| From Monday to Wednesday the Baptist Union Retreat Group committee received the warmest of welcomes from Sarum College located on the Cathedral Green at Salisbury. What a great place to be - for us it was a comfortable base to hold our meetings, for others in residence it was a place to go for their own conference or to take part in the various excellent courses Sarum provides. |
 |
| Room with a View!! It was in this room that we held the BURG Committee meetings - sometimes my mind wandered from the agenda (nothing unusual about that really!) as I looked out of the window. We learnt that the tower at Salisbury is not strong enough to house bells - just the solitary chime of the hour bell. Sad in a way to think that such a splendid building - at least on the outside - can't sing. Must be a metaphor in there somewhere! |
 |
| The sun shone during our time in Salisbury and on the second day we had a day of Silent Retreat ourselves - practising what we preach. I read, wrote a journal and walked (I hope 'prayerfully') around this beautiful city - Tuesday felt like a real gift! Oh and the lemon drizzle cake in the Cathedral Refrectory was wonderful too! |
 |
| Relaxing with members of The Baptist Union Retreat Group committee at the Red Lion! - an inspirational group to be around, committed and faithful to the idea of seeking God in all sorts of ways, especially in quiet prayer, retreats and Spiritual Direction. |
