L'Abri


L'Abri
We have just travelled to the south of England to spend time at L'Abri. We're having an incredible time and are so thankful to those who encouraged us to visit this gorgeous place.

Described to us (by another attender) as being in equal parts a third seminary, monastery and rehab; it is a place of prayer where you are encouraged to engage with Scripture in every part of life.

This place of retreat is set in a most spectacular location. But it is still much more than an old manor house. It is filled with beautiful people seriously spending time looking at the Bible while praying, taking time out, studying, engaging with thoughts and ideas, working (physical chores each day) and encouraging one another.

There's lots here to remind me of Golden Grove, the Wednesday Healing Service and the Cathedral.

Thanks to Claire and in particular Tonn (whom I work with) who strongly encouraged Sandra and I visit. We're so very thankful being here.
