Come for a 9.30am start to the Rogation Ramble around the abbey and village. This is followed at 10.30am by an Outdore service in the cloister garden. If it’s wet or snowing everything will happen in the abbey.
Climate change, pollution, environmental damage, plastic waste and over-exploitation of resources have re-focussed our minds and readjusted our priorities. Worship outdoors during the first two years of the pandemic opened our eyes, ears and hearts to delight of recognising our place within creation. You might remember the sweet, refreshing rain, the gentle whispers of breeze, birdsong and bees. Not forgetting the day when a large beech at Dore Abbey blew down a few days after we’d gathered beneath it at Pentecost recalling the ‘rushing mighty’ wind the disciples experienced.
