On Lindisfarne

On Wednesday evening I travelled up to Lindisfarne to spend a few days with some lovely people from the 24-7 Prayer movement. Here they are prior to taking breakfast at the wonderful 'Bean Goose Cafe'.

It's always good to get away for a few days to unwind, pray and generally chill out from the daily grind.... and what better place to do it than on Holy Island. The tide comes in and you're surrounded by water, with time, space and solitude if you so wish, to slow down and reflect about... well, you know.... stuff.

Being with others who are similarly occupied on a journey of faith can also be a valuable experience, with opportunities for discussion, prayer and input. We enjoyed the facilities and hospitality at Cambridge House, as well as excursions around the island to check out the local coffee shops and pub. More photos here.

  1. and your input, Tim, was of such value ... learning calligraphy where the Lindisfarne Gospels were made, learning a new value in my own name as I wrote it out ... This has been huge for me. Thanks.
