Celtic Journeys: Spring Retreat on Holy Island (Lindisfarne)February 21-February 29, 2020
Lindisfarne is a causal island, accessible by car and coach at low tide. But when the tides come in, this tiny island is transformed, enfolded in stillness. Steeped in history going back as far as the Saxon period, many well-known saints were associated with Lindisfarne, the island almost taking on an aura of its own (Aidan, Cuthbert, King Oswald, the Lindisfarne Gospels!). Lindisfarne is famous internationally for its medieval religious heritage, its picturesque 16th century castle, and for its wildlife. But many are simply attracted to the peace and tranquility which pervades this very special island. For more information, contact Sister Margo Elizabeth: Phone:973 543 4641 ext 4 Email: srmargo@gmail.com www.celticjourneys.org/lindisfarne |

Cultivating Compassion for the EnvironmentSunday April 5, 2020
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM At the Retreat House Compassion is a core belief in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. How do our traditions define compassion? How are we told to behave in order to live a life of compassion for ourselves and others? We will explore texts, stories and historical examples from our faith traditions that teach compassion and discuss how contemporary society presents challenges to us as we try to live a life of compassion. Join Sister Eleanor Francis, Rabbi Debra Smith and Dr. Shabiha Sheikh for an intriguing text study and discussion. CLICK HERE for a PDF flyer that you can hang in your church or public space. Contact Rabbi Debra Smith at hineni77@gmail.com Or Sister Eleanor Francis at 973-543-4641 x3 sref@csjb.org. |
