✨ Throwback Thursday ✨

Powerful words from Keith at the Jesuit Centre for Faith and Justice featured in Finding Faith 2022. This story reminds us that faith is not only something we believe, but something we live out through justice, compassion, and human dignity.

“A faith that doesn’t do justice is malnourished.”

UPCOMING RETREAT: "THE JOY OF THE LORD"
Join us for the first of our planned spiritual retreats, hosted in the Bewglas Centre, exploring themes such as prayer, Scripture, intimacy with God, mission, and Christian discipleship. These are open to anyone seeking refreshment and retreat. The first of these will be led by Rev. John Dickinson on 29-30 May.

The joy of the Lord is our strength, but what does this truly mean and why is it that the Christian life is so rarely associated with joy today? This conference will explore these questions concerning the experience of joy in the life of discipleship. We are living in difficult and uncertain times, when the true joy of the Lord often seems distant or rarely experienced. We will reflect on how the joy of the Lord can become a real and sustaining strength in our personal lives and how we may find true rest in Him.
