Retreats.

In an increasingly busy world going on a retreat or quiet day can be a helpful way to make time for God. The Retreat Association is a Christian ecumenical association which publishes 'Retreats' (currently £5.00). This contains interesting articles on spirituality and a list of very many retreats and courses held each year throughout the British Isles. It is published annually in December and can be obtained from the address below or from some Christian bookshops.
