I am again privileged to be part of the Haddon Robinson Study Retreat (Map of Participants — Don’t miss Ireland!). This year we are studying the book of Isaiah and our guest lecturer is Tim Mackie of The Bible Project. Watch the Bible Project on Isaiah 1-39 and Isaiah 40-66!
Each year a group of pastors gather for a week of intense study Covenant Harbor Camp near Lake Geneva, WI . Our format is simple. We invite a world-class scholar to teach us on one or more books of the Bible. As we are taught on a technical level, we collaborate to envision how to preach the Scripture we are studying to our congregations.
We were inspired by Dr. Haddon Robinson to begin this retreat. Haddon is one of the most influential teachers of homiletics (preaching) in the English speaking world in the last 100 years. Most of us who are part of this retreat studied under Haddon. All share a commitment to the clear proclamation of God’s Word.
Participants are thankful for donors who underwrite part of the cost of our retreat. We are also thankful for our churches that value the opportunity for their pastors to get away from our many responsibilities for a time of intense focus on the Word.
Our group comes from all over North America and Europe. If you click through to the interactive map, you will see that we have participants who come from everywhere from Edmonton to Ireland. Combined, we have hundreds of years of pastoral experience.
Hey Chris,
This is great. Thanks for your work. I won’t be with you this year and I will miss all of you. I am serving an interim pastorate in Omaha, NE. Lord’s blessings
Mike! Great to hear from you. We are having a great week but miss you. It would be better if you were here.
