Who We Are

The Ecumenical retreat for retried clergy, church professionals and their partners is an informal ecumenical group who gather annually for dialogue, fellowship, fun and stimulation on vital issues of religious faith. It provides an opportunity for thoughtfulness and fun and has been held annually since 1982.

Our retreats tend to be especially interesting to those of the more progressive viewpoint among the Christian Community.  All are welcome to take part in these events.
