Spring Retreat

Space is available on this event! :-D

Led by Bishop Stephen Cottrell and co-ordinated by Reverend Phil Wright

This year’s Spring Retreat brings us an opportunity to explore the Easter narratives, led on Saturday 14 April by Bishop Stephen Cottrell. Othona extends a warm welcome to Bishop Stephen who has become a familiar figure in recent years, leading the Dawn Service on Easter Sunday and taking an active part in the Bradwell Festival.

Stephen Cottrell is the Bishop of Chelmsford, serving Essex and East London. He is a member of the Church of England’s Committee for Minority Ethnic Concerns, Bishop Protector for the Society of St Francis, and Chair of Church Army, an Anglican society for evangelism and social outreach. He is a member of the House of Lords and is on the Select Committee for Communication. He is a well-known writer and speaker on evangelism, spirituality and catechesis. His latest book, The Things He Did, tells the story of Holy Week.  Stephen is married to Rebecca who is a potter, and they have three boys.

The retreat day will be embedded in a weekend of reflection, discussion and worship to which all can contribute. The weekend will be coordinated by Rev Phil Wright, Chaplain at Queen’s Hospital, Romford and the King George Hospital, Goodmayes.

Cost:  adults £84 (£62), normal child rates apply
