Who is Christ for us today?

Friday January 31st -  Sunday February 2nd 2025

Space is available on this event

In the beauty and space of Othona take time out to explore the themes of roots, place and
creation in our spiritual exploration of ‘who is Christ for us today’.
The great Irish teacher John Scotus Eriugena taught that God speaks to us through two
books. One is the little book, the book of scripture, physically little. The other is the big
book, the book of creation, vast as the universe....
Using ideas from Celtic, Māori and Aboriginal spirituality we will explore the two books
through which God speaks to us and discover something of who Jesus Christ is for us today.
