About this Event

Led by Revd Canon Ivor Moody, author of Six More Songs which came out last year, and Songs for the Soul which has been re-printed and re-launched a few weeks ago.

Through looking at the stories and experiences of some of the characters in the songs, and the composers and singers who performed them, the songs might re-awaken in new ways our own ‘stories’, and through them how we might re-discover new and rich resources for the promulgation of the Gospel and the living of our Christian lives.

The Rev’d Canon Ivor Moody was Vice Dean and Canon Pastor of Chelmsford Cathedral from 2010-2024. Ivor has served all his professional life in the County of Essex, working in the Diocese of Chelmsford. After studying for a theology degree at King’s College London and then training for the priesthood at the College of the Resurrection in Mirfield West Yorkshire, he served two curacies, at St. Margaret’s Leytonstone and St. Margaret’s Leigh on Sea. He then became vicar of St. John the Baptist Tilbury Docks before moving to Chelmsford in 1996 to become Chaplain of Anglia Ruskin University (Chelmsford Campus) where he gained an MA in Pastoral Theology with the Cambridge Theological Federation. Upon leaving to take up his last post at Chelmsford Cathedral, he was made an Honorary Fellow of the University. Ivor is married to Ruth, and they have four grown up children.

The retreat can be combined with additional overnight stays or two at the House. If you would like this please contact the Retreat House direct 01245 237251.
