Sanctum 2017 | Book Now
It’s that time of year again where we are preparing for Sanctum. It is a great place to discuss alternative worship in a sacramental tradition. There are some really great contributors this year and there are a few places left to book as well! The programme includes a blessing of the waters down at the river, exposition, eucharist and Rock Mass Unplugged.
The monastery at Mirfield is an idyllic location for a few days of contemplation and quiet if you would like to engage with the worship whilst having space for private reflection.
Oh yeah. There’s also gin tasting.

Sanctum | An Emerging Gathering
This is the second year for Sanctum. “What is sanctum?” I hear you ask. Sanctum is an “Emerging Sacramental gathering of practitioners and dreamers to worship, recharge, share ideas, pray and support”. A place for people on the edges to meet.
9th August 2016 2pm to 11th August 2016 2pm
at The Community of the Resurrection Mirfield
As Alt:worship practitioners there is little around in the way of support so Sue Wallace (transcendence), Edward Green and I put our heads together and decided to come together each year at Mirfield to share good practice, to pray and worship together and dream dreams together. Last year was very organic with people with lots of experience of being part of Emerging Church gatherings, people who have always wondered what it was about and were thinking of exploring new ways of worshipping in their context and everything in between.
Mirfield is a newly ordered worship space that is perfect for the high tech and the low tech. As a place that is used regularly for sacramental worship, there is space to use all of the senses as people explore their creativity using the traditions of the church.

Sanctum | A Gathering for Alt:Worshippers
A few of us who are involved in Sacramental Alt Worship/Emerging Church/Fresh Expressions in the UK have been talking and we think that there is a need for a space for us to cross pollinate and dream dreams. Wherever you come from and whatever you are hoping to see develop in the future, Sanctum could be the place for you to explore missional worship from a sacramental tradition. There will be several practitioners involved including Sue and Malcolm Wallace from Transcendence, Eddie and Sarah Green, Ruth Sutherland and me from Metanoia and the Rock Mass and others.
The accommodation and facilities we’re using are at the Community of the Resurrection in Mirfield. Wworship will be in the newly reordered lower church with it’s great tech spec. Full board is £104 which is not bad for a noisy retreat. Spaces are limited so please get in touch ASAP to book.
If you want to dream dreams with us, please get in touch!
