Fresh from a September 2022 week on the sacred Isle of Iona under the leadership of John Philip and Ali Newell, Pastor Jule is excited to share the experience and reflect together with you!
“I first met John Philip in 2007 at the outset of a two-year Certificate in Christian Spiritual Formation program at Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, GA. Grounded grace and fervent love poured through every word John Philip said. I knew I was in the presence of a spiritual sage for our day. His love for people and the earth, his passion for God, and his wide knowledge of Christain traditions makes every word he writes a gift for thirsty spirits. When arriving on the Isle of Iona in September to immerse myself in teachings and spiritual practices co-led by John Philip and his wife and equal partner Ali Newell, I was not disappointed! True spiritual companions who are deeply rooted in a life-giving Celtic Christian tradition, Ali and John Philip inspired as they offered hope all throughout our week together! I look forward to delving into spiritual practices and wise conversation through The Rebirthing of God! I invite YOU to participate!”
If you wonder if there’s a place for you in the Christian faith; if you hope the Spirit of God is working yet; if you want to be in conversation and partnership with others committed too to the exploration of the Divine today; JOIN in THE REBIRTHING OF GOD! Even if you cannot gather regularly with others: READ THIS BOOK!
