SUMMARY:Art Appreciation II - Victorian narrative painting
DESCRIPTION:Every picture tells a story \nTutor:  Tim Stimson \nEntertaining\, thought-provoking and historically significant; the visual equivalent of chapters by Dickens\, Eliot\, Thackeray – these pictures provide a fascinating insight into the minds and hearts of our forefathers. We will also find that Sherlock Holmes’ deductive reasoning works with these pictures\, and we learn to `read` them on their own terms. \nTim’s involvement in art began with the practical. For a number of years\, he was a professional painter and ceramicist in Scotland and Wales\, before returning to university to study literature and the history of art. \nFor the last 30 years he has been a freelance cultural/art historian\, specialising in 17th- and 19th-century art and society. He now lectures for the University of Cambridge\, the WEA\, the Art Fund and \nThe Arts Society (previously NADFAS)\, and presents residential study courses in Britain and Europe. Tim has now completed two lecture tours of Australia\, the last in 2016\, and presented a lecture for \nHull City of Culture 2017 on T E Ferens\, patron of Hull’s newly refurbished gallery. \n  \nThe first Art Appreciation event this year is from 19 – 21 April

SUMMARY:For the Peace of the City: Christian-Muslim relations in Britain today
DESCRIPTION:Tutor:  Dr Phil Lewis \nThis retreat presupposes no knowledge of Islam. After a brief introduction\, there are four sessions: the first will look at ‘Worship in Islam’ where worship will be the lens through which we see how the Islamic tradition developed over time. It is appropriate to begin with a focus on worship since Islam literally means surrender/submission to God. \nThe second session will look at how first Jesus\, and then Muhammad\, is understood in the Qur’an and\, briefly\, in the Islamic tradition. This will draw attention to both similarities and radical differences in how shared religious categories are understood across both traditions\, for example\, prophecy\, martyrdom and God/Allah. \nOur third session will delve into how religious leaders – ‘ulama – who provide mosque personnel\, as well as legal specialists\, are trained in the more than 20 Islamic seminaries in Britain. This will make clear the crisis in religious formation and attempts to address this crisis. \nFinally\, we will look at the enormous social and religious\, challenges facing Muslims as a minority in British society\, and how Christians are responding to such challenges and creating a more hopeful\, shared future. \nThere will be plenty of opportunities during this retreat to chat informally about issues which interest or concern retreatants about Islam. \nAfter six years researching and lecturing at an ecumenical Christian Study Centre in Pakistan\, Dr Phil Lewis spent over twenty-five years advising Anglican Bishops of Bradford on Christian-Muslim relations\, as well as lecturing in the Peace Studies Department at Bradford University on Islam in the West & Religions\, Conflict and Peacemaking. His passion is how Christians and Muslims might live well together\, while acknowledging that both remain missionary religions with often difficult\, intertwined histories. He was part of the national Christian-Muslim forum set up in 2006 and sat on the European Council of Churches’ Islam in Europe committee. He has written three books on Islam in Britain\, the last with a Muslim friend\, entitled: Muslims in Britain: new directions in Islamic thought\, creativity and activism (Edinburgh University Press\, 2018). In retirement\, he continues to write\, review for the Church Times\, and teach ordinands about Islam in Britain and Christian-Muslim relations.

SUMMARY:Fellowship of Contemplative Prayer Retreat I
DESCRIPTION:A silent ‘listening’ retreat. Contemplative life is the expression of the desire to seek stillness amid the rush of life\, to hear ‘the still small voice’ amid today’s clamour; to search for and listen to God. Experienced with others in a group\, silence is deeper and more powerful than when alone. By making a space for yourself and your relationship with God\, you are giving yourself and Him a wonderful gift. \nTo book\, and for more information on any aspect of this FCP Retreat\, please contact Sue Davies on 01924 255129/07749 592 858 or email susandavies367@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Art Appreciation I
DESCRIPTION:Cartoonery:  English Attitudes \nTutor:  Tim Stimson \nMany artists discovered that humour is the key to winning the hearts of the English! Caricature\, satire and the cartoon have given pleasure\, satisfaction\, amusement and relief\, whilst drawing down censure and puncturing pomposity across class divides since the 18th century. \nFrom the witty and genteel to the vicious and scurrilous\, these pithy encapsulations of the recognisable\, continue to have relevance today. They are miniature masterpieces\, ephemeral yet enduring through time.  From the Georgians; Gillray & Rowlandson\, to Punch and Strand cartoonists\, Tenniel\, Sambourne\, Leach and Dickie Doyle and from Thelwell to Scarfe\, these virtual drolleries have lost none of their appeal. \nTim’s involvement in art began with the practical.  For a number of years\, he was a professional painter and ceramicist in Scotland and Wales\, before returning to university to study literature and the history of art. \nFor the last 30 years he has been a freelance cultural/art historian\, specialising in 17th- and 19th-century art and society.  He now lectures for the University of Cambridge\, the WEA\, the Art Fund and the Arts Society (formerly NADFAS)\, and presents residential study courses in Britain and Europe. Tim has now completed two lecture tours of Australia\, the last in 2016\, and presented a lecture of Hull City of Culture 2017 on T E Ferens\, patron of Hull’s newly refurbished gallery. \nThe second Art Appreciation event this year is from 9 – 11 August \n

SUMMARY:Literature Appreciation I
DESCRIPTION:Chaucer \nTutor:  Hugh Parry \nChaucer now seems to be treated as the purveyor of rollicking pseudo-Medieval romps\, flattened of course in to modern English:  not a fate which genius deserves.  This course will sidestep the favourites beloved of travelling players and setters of school syllabuses\, and give a glimpse of his quality through some of his less familiar Canterbury Tales\, as well as taking you on a journey to some strange places of the imagination where you will meet duchesses\, goddesses\, bird\, good women – and not so good women. \nHugh Parry has offered adult education classes in literature for over 30 years. Although loyal all his life to Shakespeare\, he has over the years given courses on a diverse range of topics\, including detective fiction\, utopias\, ghost stories\, Cowper\, Swift and R S Thomas. \nThe second Literature Appreciation event this year is from 27 – 30 September

SUMMARY:Lent Retreat - God's creation inspiring us through Lent
DESCRIPTION:Leader: Revd Ruth Harris \nJourneying with Christ is the theme for the Lent Retreat this year.  \nWe have all had a difficult few years coping with Covid and all the measures implemented such as lockdowns and restrictions on meeting with each other. In this time of trial many found new links with the natural world and realised that to slow down and see wildlife\, gardens and the rhythm of nature is beneficial to our souls. On this retreat for Lent we will be looking again at God’s world and how it inspires us. Lent is often seen as a time of giving up something\, but this retreat will help us find more in God’s creation to encourage us on our journey towards Easter. We will discover more about how Creation can help us draw closer to the Creator. \nRuth is retired and previously served a vicar in Skipton with Carleton\, and was Area Dean for the Skipton Deanery. Originally from the Wakefield area\, she has served as a part time FE College Chaplain as well as a parish priest. Ruth is a Spiritual Director for the Diocese and serves as part of the Diocesan Tanzania Link Committee. Before ordination\, Ruth worked as an archivist for the West Yorkshire Archive Service.

SUMMARY:Advent Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Leader:  Joyce Simpson \n‘Let us now go even unto Bethlehem.’\n\nThe journey to Bethlehem passes through the wilderness\, where John\, the desert wild man\, insists that change is necessary\, and change is coming. As pilgrims\, in the company of poets\, we shall venture into the wilderness\, seeking to confront afresh the silence and resonance of God. With perhaps both hope and fear in our hearts\, we shall move expectantly towards the question: ‘What might happen if we were to  invite God into our lives that bit more radically?’ \nJoyce Simpson is the retired Head of Humanities at Leeds Trinity University\, where she established an MA programme in Literature and Spirituality. Nowadays she delights in discovering the thoughts and insights of fellow-voyagers from different walks of life.
