daily travelling in traffic jams or overcrowded trains, of the family, of financial worries about the mortgage.</strong></p><p align="justify">Many people long for a break, a chance to slow down and reflect on what life is all about.</p><p align="justify">Where am I going? What am I doing? How can I find time to pray, to reflect, to fit in all my commitments to my family, my work, my community, my Church? Have I got things out of proportion? Does ‘Church' take over time I should spend with the family? Am I over-committed? Tired? You get the idea.</p><p align="justify">Sometimes health or personal circumstances make us stop and think again. It is better if we make a deliberate decision to stop and reflect and re-assess our situation.</p><p align="justify">And a good way to do this is to take ‘time out', to make a conscious decision to go away for a day or a few days (if the time is available) to leave behind the pressures and problems and spend some time in quiet reflection, rest and taking the opportunity to ‘recharge our batteries,' and importantly, to rediscover the source of our spiritual energy - grace.</p><p>This is God's gift of his love and strength which enables us to live our lives in a more relaxed yet purposeful way.<br/> </p><div style="text-align: center"><img src="/web/20120104103240im_/http://lincoln.anglican.org/img_lib/17.jpg" width="440" height="330" id="inserted_17_1"></div><p>This ‘taking time out' is often described as ‘going on a Retreat' or ‘making a Retreat.' It rather sounds as if we are wanting to get away from our daily responsibilities and activities, and to avoid or evade life's problems, but that is the negative way to see a Retreat.</p><p align="justify">The positive way is to see a Retreat as time to reflect, assess, pray, listen and discover more about God, ourselves and other people to enable us to advance and grow in our Christian discipleship.<br/>We Retreat to advance!</p><p align="justify">There are Retreat Houses in every part of the country, and in December each year the Retreat Association (made up of the Retreat Groups of the Anglican, Roman Catholic, Methodist, Quaker, Baptist and United Reformed Church) publishes a journal called Retreats which includes details of more than 200 houses where people may stay.</p><p align="justify">In this diocese there are opportunities for Quiet Days and Retreats at t<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104103240/http://www.bishopedwardking.org/" target="_blank">he Edward King Centre</a> , South Ormsby Regional House, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104103240/http://www.erh.org.uk/">Edenham Regional House</a> , and at Station House in Stixwould. </p><p align="justify">The Retreat Association website provides more detail; visit <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104103240/http://www.retreats.org.uk/" target="_blank">www.retreats.org.uk</a> </p><p align="justify"><strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104103240/mailto:davidleaning@btinternet.com">The Very Revd David Leaning</a> </strong>has recently retired as Dean of Southwell, and is in demand as a retreat leader in this country and abroad.  He is a member of the executive of the Association for Promoting Retreats.</p><p align="justify">See <a id="insertedpage_84_2" href="page.php?i_@A_84">Retreat Houses</a></p>  <div id="addit"><script type="text/javascript">var addthis_brand = "Diocese of Lincoln"; var addthis_header_color = "#000000"; var addthis_header_background = "#f6fff7"; var addthis_options = 'digg, delicious, linkedin, google, facebook, twitter, email, more';</script> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104103240/http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=20" onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, '', '[URL]', '[TITLE]')" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onclick="return addthis_sendto()"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104103240im_/http://s7.addthis.com/static/btn/lg-share-en.gif" width="125" height="16" alt="Bookmark and Share" style="border:0"/></a><script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104103240js_/http://s7.addthis.com/js/200/addthis_widget.js#username=xa-4c4d62624de20c41"></script></div> </div>  </div>  <p style="clear:both; font-size:.1em; line-height:0px; margin:12px;"> </p> <div id="site_info"> <a href="/web/20120104103240/http://lincoln.anglican.org/sitemap.php">Site Map</a> | <a href="/web/20120104103240/http://lincoln.anglican.org/page.php?n_@CC_46">Vacancies</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104103240/http://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/section.asp?sectiontype=topic&catid=22003" target="_blank">Family History Information</a> | <a href="/web/20120104103240/http://lincoln.anglican.org/page.php?n_@CI_74">Contact Us</a><br/> ©2012 The Diocese of Lincoln</div>  <br/> <br/> </div>  <div id="reflection"><img src="/web/20120104103240im_/http://lincoln.anglican.org/g_lib/fade_bottom2010.png" alt="" width="971" height="100"/></div> </body> </html>
