E-mail The Bield:
Community
Experienced pastoral community members are available as desired to listen, counsel, guide and support you on your personal journey. Community members are happy to offer as much or as little assistance as required by an individual or a group. We do value the opportunity of being involved in the development and facilitating of events and courses.
While people of all faiths or of none are welcome, our vision is centred in the person of Jesus Christ, and the well-being, nurture and healing found in him. Community members have diverse Christian backgrounds and are one-world as well as one-church minded. A number of staff and volunteers also work at the Bield; a truly welcoming and delightful place.
The community members who offer ministry are:
Rev'd Robin Anker-Petersen
Director of Healing for St. Andrews Episcopal Diocese and tutor with the Acorn Christian Foundation in Scotland. Robin offers spiritual direction, listening, prayer and group facilitation. His other interests include revival, contemplation and the visual arts, including sculptures.
