JOURNEY WITH SAINT PAUL
A compelling, passionate witness to life lived in the Risen Christ, Paul a dedicated builder of Christian community and writer of Scripture, lived deeply from the ground of his deep faith. After his dramatic and life-changing conversion, he spent time in the desert – so we begin by following Paul into the desert and then seek to explore his challenging and profound experience of faith. This is a 4 week course and participants should attend all sessions if they are able to.

IGNATIAN SPIRITUALITY | An Introduction to Ignatian discernment and The Examen.
EXPLORING THE SPIRITUALITY OF THE DESERT FATHERS
The Desert Fathers and Mothers were pioneers of the inner life. Compelled into the silence of the desert in order to live more for God and to explore the nature of prayer and what it means to be human, they battled with their demons, nurtured inner stillness and yearned for purity of heart. Many were formidable human beings and what they became in the desert forms a deeply significant part of our Christian heritage. Following Christ’s journey into the wilderness, their spirituality has had a huge influence on Christianity.
