Welcome to the program of the Institute for Spiritual Studies for 2003.
If you are new to our Institute, we hope that you will find things here that are just what you are looking for. Once again we have sought to provide a range of offerings, each in its way nurturing the spiritual life. Some of our seminars are quite intimate, and it is easy to walk in on the night. Others generate enormous interest and support, so it is advisable to book ahead, if you can.
Last year, we managed to have a full day with the Archbishop of Canterbury designate, Rowan Williams. That day was memorable for all those who took part. The intense focus of the evening when we considered the holy city, Jerusalem, from the perspective of the three faiths which hold it dear, was also very powerful and unforgettable. 2002 was certainly a very notable year for ISS, which brought us into contact with a broader range of people who share the spiritual quest in different ways.
Please do now look carefully at what we offer for the coming year. Our team has worked hard, again so ably led by Jan Gordon-Clark, to put together a challenging program for you. Our Committee, our volunteers, our Advisory Board – we thank them all, as we look forward to another good year together.
We all look forward to having you join us.
