The Secretary

Naomi is about to become the manager of our Open Gate Retreat House on Holy Island,UK. That means the office is empty. We need a Secretary. The Secretary will maintain our database, be a book-keeper, and answer emails and phone calls. Across the road is our Celtic Christian Studies Library. We need a librarian. A Secretary-librarian would put returned books into their right place and keep the online catalogue up-to-date. A Secretary could be on a work experience placement. As well as free food and board, the Secretary could do some study, experience community life, engage in spiritual direction and Celtic styles of worship, meet fascinating people, and explore an island unique in its natural habitats and as a Cradle of Christianity. A Secretary would need to be rather unselfish, bend with the wind, and understand human foibles. A Secretary could come for a year (minimum of three months) or longer. Sooner or later a Secretary might, if contributions to CA&H increase, even receive an honorarium. If you are interested, email grahamandruth booth@btinternet.com or admin@aidanandhilda.org.uk.
