If God created and loved the whole world, perhaps it is time that Western Christians became aware of the poetry, theology, worship traditions and song from the Southern Hemisphere. It might save us from imagining God as an anglophone deity who sits on a throne draped in red, white and blue in whatever constellation. Asia, Africa and South America have great spiritual gifts and insights to offer – some of which we will share in this retreat. Led by John Bell.
