Today I went on a reflective pilgrimage around the Isle of Iona. It was a time of prayer and reflection as we examined various sites of historical and religious significance on the island. It was a wonderful experience, and a beautiful day to enjoy it!
Last night I attended a ceilidh (pronounced kay-lee), which is the Scottish version of a barn dance or square dance. It was a lot of fun. A lot of this week has been about living in community, enjoying the gifts and differences of others, and sharing our unity in Christ -- a good thing for the Church to do. We don't have to agree on everything, but we can still love and trust one another.
Tonight is a service of prayer for healing -- to pray for healing physically, mentally, emotionally, relationally; and to pray for healing of the nations, and so on. I've especially been looking forward to this service, as I think there will be ways to incorporate this sort of service back home at Pella I.
