Our brothers and sisters, living and departed…
We cover a wide range of topics when we meet twice a month for CLC meetings. This January we are looking at a book called “Restoring the Woven Cord” and the threads of Church woven by ancestors like Mungo, Aiden, Hilde and many, many, more.
The stories of their lives are embedded into the landscape of the British Isles. When the Vikings landed and began to settle they would have encountered stories like the one where a bull guided by St Ninian struck the ground so hard it left a hoofmark in the stone. Names like Mungo and Oswald marked churches and monasteries, but also the boundaries between land owners and helped provide the everyday structure that people lived within.
This might seem strange to our modern lifestyles, where even our families are often spread over a wide geographical area and we are expected to move home multiple times and experience many cultures. Can we build up and strengthen ourselves though exploring connections with the roots of Christianity as they were planted in this land?
We meet on Monday evening 7.30 – 9 in each others houses. If you are interested, you are welcome to join us! This is one place you can find the book we are going to be using – there will be other suppliers !
