Three Days: The Opening of Heaven and New Creation

The dates for this year’s Torrance Retreats are 12-14th June and 27-29th November. In addition to U.K. speakers, the June Retreat brings together an international line-up from different continents and church backgrounds:

• Rev Dr Gerrit Dawson, Louisiana - Three days: Good Friday, Holy Saturday, Easter Sunday
• Rev Dr Geordie Ziegler, Vancouver - Spiritual Formation
• Dr Kerry Magruder, Oklahoma - Torrance, Science and New Creation: Did the Resurrection Change the Order of Nature?
• Prof Myk Habets, New Zealand - Torrance as a Preacher: His Sermons in Context
• Dr Robert Walker, Edinburgh - Torrance on the Cross, Resurrection and New Creation
• Rev David Torrance, North Berwick - Preaching and Preaching the Ascension

As the main speaker, Gerrit Dawson is devoting a one hour session to each of the Friday, Saturday and Sunday of Jesus’ Passion. For more information on the international speakers, all may be “googled”. It is anticipated that residentially we will as usual be full in June and that early booking of local B&B accommodation in Killin is advised for those who prefer en-suite facilities.
