Festivals

If you are considering attending any festivals over the summer then we would love to recommend-

SOLAS - 25th-27th June, Wiston, Biggar.

And of course- Greenbelt - 27th-30th August, Cheltenham racecourse, Scotland.

Both festivals celebrate a kind of Christianity that is generous and vibrant- and full of creativity. 

Aoradh will be at both- please look us up and say hello! 

 

News

Standing in the long now

Last year Aoradh contributed a worship installation  to Greenbelt Festival , Cheltenham England.

This was based on the idea of a walk through time, inviting participants to be grateful for those who went before us, participate fully in the present and be hopeful for the future.

We will be setting up this installation again on Dunoon Pier on Saturday May 15th. 

Come along and walk the time line! 

 
Pentecost bonfire

We are planning another bonfire on Ardentinny Beach to celebrate Pentecost.

You are welcome to join us on Sunday the 23rd of May.

Bring something to barbecue!

Welcome to Aoradh! Print

Aoradh (meaning ‘adoration’) is a Christian arts group based in Dunoon, Argyll. Members of our group come from many different traditions and church backgrounds, and we greatly value the creativity and diversity that this brings to our experience.

Our practices arise from our experience of community. Out of this common ground, we seek to create spaces and events that enable us to worship and to celebrate our faith. This is no exclusive group however, and we are always open to meeting and working with others.

Aoradh seeks to work with (and serve) others whenever we can. In doing this, we offer our worship.

We invite you to share the warmth of our fireside.

 

Some of our recent events include;

  • Poetry reading in a local pub.
  • Yvonne Lyon gig.
  • American Baptist Chorale visit.
  • Aids awareness vigil.

 

 

 

We also run other less formal events- growing from the life of our small community.

  CHRIS'S LATEST BOOK!

‘Listing’ is a collection of poetry and meditations mostly inspired by some of those great lists in the Bible- the fruit of the Spirit, the Beatitudes, the ‘love’ passage in Corinthians and the ’seasons’ passage in Ecclesiastes 3.

It is published by Proost- and available by clicking here.

Here is the Proost blurb from Jonny Baker;

Listing is a little gem, a surprise that came Proost’s way over the horizon from Chris Goan. He loves crafting words, playing with words, chewing over words, creating and re-creating worlds with words. His poems and meditations are a delight, spinning off from and opening up new takes on familiar verses of ancient wisdom from the scriptures. It’s the second book from Chris on proost. The first is the wonderful meditation he wrote to go along with Si Smith’s images of Christ’s journey into the wilderness ‘40’. The books is available as both hard copy or to download as pdf.
