Each year I take time for a prayer retreat, drawing aside from the daily demands for prayer and reflection, to nurture my relationship with God and to seek wisdom in my life and ministry. It is a precious time.<\/p>\n

This year I have decided to conduct the annual \u2018Bishop’s Retreat’ myself . I have been developing the theme, \u2018Walking in Holiness’, from the material and feedback from the talks I gave at the St Andrew’s Cathedral, Singapore, Family Camp in 2008.<\/p>\n

The retreat program is taking shape and the talks to develop our prayer and reflection on the theme \u2018Walking in Holiness’ will involve,<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. God of Holiness – Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty<\/li>\n
  2. The Call of the Holy – Be holy as I am Holy<\/li>\n
  3. The Holy – Revealing, rescuing and calling<\/li>\n
  4. The Spirit of Holiness – regenerating, transforming, glorifying<\/li>\n
  5. The fruit of the Spirit – keeping in step with the Spirit<\/li>\n
  6. Habits of Holiness – strengthening the holiness walk<\/li>\n
  7. Walking in Holiness – growing in Christlikeness<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It takes time to become holy. We need to take time to be holy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
