[To see a map of how to find the Community of the Resurrection, please click here. Do take care that you come to the Retreat House (at the top of the hill), and not to the College.]
The church is now closed until the end of building operations (probably in 2011). The public are still welcome to our services, in a temporary chapel in the house. You will need to ring the doorbell at the Retreat House for access - please bear in mind that once the service has started we may not be able to hear it. Please note that the time of Evening Prayer is now 6.00 p.m.

FINDING GOD IN ZIMBABWE
It was in March 2008 that I chose to spend a year with the Community of the Resurrection. Little did I know that the experience there would change my life - spiritually, physically, and mentally.
In August 2008, amidst the "Mirfield Experience", I got the chance to go with Brother Nicolas to Zimbabwe. Now, in 2010, here I am, again in Zimbabwe! To be honest it was not what I expected to be doing, but I couldn't get away from the fact that there was a deep desire in me just to work and live here for a time. God gave me a passion for orphans. He wanted me to open and run a house for teenage orphans. Having received a small vision in January, I have to say my first visual vision, I was extremely scared and somewhat bewildered. I felt like Moses - unworthy and inadequate.
