Group History

Beyond Galilee

When Tim Yeager went into hospital for cancer treatment earlier this year Robin Drummond, Jim Corrigall and I undertook to keep the monthly Zoom meetings of the Galilee Group running in his absence. Sadly, that absence quickly became permanent with Tim’s death on 2nd April.

With the help of friends within PCN we were able to find speakers to fill the programme until we took a break for the summer, but the question became “What next?” Tim had such a wide network of contacts and potential speakers to draw on that neither Robin, Jim or I felt equal to the task of sustaining long term the kind of programme Tim had developed.

Galilee Group members were consulted about what to do next. Some felt that we had reached a natural ending, whilst others wanted to continue the fellowship without necessarily following the meeting format which Tim had established. So in consultation with PCN Chair Simon Cross we have taken some time to reflect our next steps, the upshot of which is that we will begin a new on-line group (New Treasures) in January - see details below. We felt it appropriate to follow the meeting pattern of the former Galilee Group, so we will then continue on the second Sunday each month, gathering at 8p.m. UK Time

The aim of New Treasures is to provide space for group-led exploration of questions of Christian faith with heart as well as mind. New Treasures is open to all with the hope that it will provide a natural home for those wishing to follow up themes arising from past and any future Galilee Courses as well as from other sources (books, writings, films, art, etc).

Jim having decided he needed to step back from close involvement, Robin and I are delighted to have been joined by Christine Brown and Sally Hyder to help organize and run the group.
