Ignatian Retreats in Jordan
posted on April 26th, 2010
One of the Loyola Hall team, Stephen Hoyland, spent Holy Week and Easter in the Middle East. He was invited to Jordan by Annieke Van Dijk who took part in our training programme in 2006 and lives and works there with the Evangelical churches in the Middle East.
Stephen led two Ignatian retreats, one a small group retreat in the desert and the other individually directed. By all accounts the project was a great success.
Stephen found his stay extended by volcanic activity and has only just made it back to the UK–where he has launched straight into a week of guided prayer at Reading University.
