UK adventures 4 – fingering the margins in Lindisfarne
Today I take the train north, to spend the weekend on Holy Island, Lindisfarne. Founded AD 635, so soaked in history. A base for mission in North of England, so soaked in missiology. Site for producing the illuminated Gospels known as the Lindisfarne Gospels, so soaked in creative Biblical engagement. Linked with Saint Cuthbert, which is also the name of my father, so a place to reflect on my heritage. A island on the edge between land and sea, cut of by tide twice a day. A chance to soak in a marginal place.
I am there until Monday.
A time to pause.
To pay attention to God’s voice in myself and in creation.
