Anglican Heritage Tour 2011

An Anglican Heritage Tour of England and Scotland will be conducted by The Rev. Jeffrey Smith, Rector of St. Luke's Church, Redding, California, in June of next year.

We will use the Venerable Bede (c. 673-735) as our tour guide, visiting sites mentioned in his Ecclesiastical History of the English People that traces the evangelization of Scotland and northern England by Irish monks. We will also take in-depth tours of the great cathedrals at York and Durham and visit the Viking Center at York.

Sign-ups are needed now in order to make the tour reservations and obtain the lowest prices. To reserve a spot on the tour (or to obtain more information), write Fr. Jeffrey Smith, email frjeff1@qwestoffice.net or phone him at 530-339-0156. Click here to download the flyer [pdf].

Afternoons are given to outdoor recreation: swimming, hiking, volleyball, basketball, and other activities. We also take day trips to the surrounding areas.
