About this Event
This retreat for Urban Leaders will be an opportunity to rest and to reflect on your journey with God as we consider Luke 24: 13-15: The Road to Emmaus. Revd. Sophie Cowan will lead us through four sessions over the course of 24 hours. She will offer her own reflections and facilitate times of response, creativity, exploration, and space for silence / quiet time. As we commit time to notice Christ’s presence with us, our prayer is that all who attend will find a sense of restoration and encouragement. Revd. Emma Speake and Revd. Tina Upton, our Estates Focal leads, will be available as chaplains over the course of the retreat. Join us as we travel this path together - hopeful that our hearts may be kindled - as we nurture the ministry and mission we each carry out in the power of the Holy Spirit.
The Revd. Sophie Cowan is Priest-in-Charge at St Mary Stoke, Ipswich. She is from Corby and has long felt God’s call to serve on (council) estates; having grown-up and lived most of her life on estates. Sophie is writing her PhD on a vision for the wider Church from estate churches, and posts from her account @estate_ministry on X (formerly Twitter).
