Episode notes
Creation As A Form Of Prayer
- Faith can be encountered through creation as powerfully as in churches and books.
- Nature, tides and bird calls can open us to grace and prayer, just as stone and scripture do.
Waiting For The Causeway
- The family crossed the tidal causeway to Holy Island and learned to time the crossing with daily tide tables.
- The island's slower pace taught them patience and trust as they waited for the water to part.
Time The Causeway Crossing
- Check the online tidal timetable before driving the causeway to Holy Island.
- Avoid being stranded by missing the twice-daily safe crossing window.
