It sounds like it will be another great experience, though it should be emphasised that people are free to participate in what is offered or not as they feel inclined. It is intended to be a Retreat after all! The cost of the Retreat is £160 full-board for those in a single en-suite room. There are also four rooms that share two shower rooms. For those who opt for these rooms, the price will be £145. If cost is a barrier to attending, please contact us. We may be able to offer some help. To apply, please go to http://muscotland.org.uk/Retreat.htm and click on the link to the online application form. We can also take phone bookings on 0141 776 3237. Letter received by church treasurer on 16 January 2019 The Scottish Episcopal Institute 21 Grosvenor Crescent Edinburgh. Dear Mrs Anderson, I am writing to thank you for the cheque for £55 for the SEI Training Fund which we received today, being the kind donation of fees resulting from Rev Sally Gorton’s recent visit to take a service at St Oswald’s. This a most generous donation for which we thank you ever so much. Please be so kind as to convey these thanks to all concerned. As you know, the money supports our fulltime students who study for an M.Div. degree at New College along with their formational studies in the SEI. The students attended a recent residential weekend in Perth and a number will be ordained this year. This is an adequate way of conveying SEI’s thanks to you for your continuing kindness and immense generosity but be assured these thanks are most sincere and heartfelt. Thanks for the donation will be made in the February edition of the SEI Newsletter. With all good wishes to you, and many thanks. My prayers in this time of local and episcopal vacancy.
