2027 CSN Conference

Every Grain of Sand - Exploring an understanding of the Earth and the Cosmos from Franciscan perspectives.

Speaker: Karen Eliasen

Monday 17th ‑ Wednesday 19th May 2027

Venue: The Franciscan Centre, Ladywell, Godalming, Surrey GU7 1ST

The phrase "heaven and earth" appears in Scripture over a dozen times as a wonderful figure of speech combining opposites to describe the entirety of God's created universe. In our own 21st century, extraordinary inroads are being made in how we understand and relate to what exactly constitutes this "heaven and earth". Over these days we will explore how we can fruitfully draw on both contemporary cutting-edge science and ancient Christian wisdoms to shed light on our own sense of that entirety of the universe ‑ from starry skies to grains of sand.

There is accommodation for up to 20 guests or more if sharing and spaces for 15 non-resident. We invite early booking to avoid disappointment.

Resident: Single Room: £330 Sharing: £290 each. Deposit £100 each.

Non-Resident: £100 (Lunch bookable). Deposit £50.
