The Great Search - John Philip Newell

This reflective study series meets over eleven sessions through the year to read and reflect on John Philip Newell’s book The Great Search, exploring the wisdom of nine prophetic teachers from the past who come from a range of backgrounds and faiths. Each session offers a guided structure for individual reflection and group sharing to help expand, deepen and embed the core content of the text.

Part of the widespread spiritual search of today is the yearning to know the divine, not just to know about the divine. It is the desire to ground spiritual wisdom in experience rather than in statements of faith. It is the conviction that the light of God shines in the body of Earth and in one another, and deep within us all.

You will need to purchase your own copy of the book for the programme.
