"As my friend and I walked along like Cleopas and his friend, we recalled as they did the events of the Crucifixion and its aftermath in the light of our utterly different and yet similar world. Nor was it a fancy that we too were joined by a third presence. And I tell you that wherever the walk and whoever the wayfarers, there is always this third presence ready to emerge from the shadows and walk in step along the dusty stony way." Malcolm Muggeridge.
The evenings start from 7pm with refreshment available and the evening itself will start at 7.30 pm.
