Retreats

Vivian Norgrove

Each year there are 2 retreats. One in May and one in October or November. The retreats are held at Llangasty and last 2 or 3 days. The retreat house is situated on the banks of Llangorse lake and is very comfortable and serves delicious food. Any one wishing to join the retreat should contact Vivian Norgrove.

There is one bursary per retreat available for anyone who would like to go but would find the cost prevents them from attending. Please apply directly to the Diocesan President if you would like to apply for a bursary. This is totally confidential.

Fleur Dorrell wrote this thought provoking article

Shopping is now a universal obsession. Yet while millions consume their lives away millions more die daily of poverty and debt. How can we afford this global inequality? So let's rewrite our weekly shopping list for the wellbeing of the world:

Let's start shopping lighter by:

shopping light of excess, shopping light of instant demand, shopping light of commercialisatio, shopping light of environmental waste, shopping light of non-seasonable produce, shopping light of bargains at other people's expense.

Let's start reducing our greed by:

reducing poverty, reducing malnutrition, reducing unfit housing, reducing unclean water, reducing unfair trade rules, reducing employment exploitation.

Between the producer and the consumer
hold the hands of wealth and the heart of greed.
Between governments and nations
hold the hands of economics and business profit.
Yet together we can redistribute our resources
and bring together
the hands of justice and the heart of life.
And that will be money well spent.
