Here is a fresh and exciting tool for reaching people today with the good news. Excerpted from Richardson's book Evangelism Outside the Box, the gospel presentation in Circles of Belonging has been widely used and thoroughly evaluated by church leaders both for biblical faithfulness and for evangelistic effectiveness. Richardson uses an ingenious diagram of circles that you can easily draw on a single sheet of paper (or even a napkin) and clearly explain in conversation with friends, family and coworkers. And Jesus is the only one who accepts us as we are, restores our broken relationship with God, and transforms our relationships with other people. We all desire, more than almost anything else, to belong. In clear, simple terms, he describes in this booklet (meant to be given to and read by non-Christians) how the gospel taps into one of our deepest God-given longings.

Rick Richardson says yes. You can take the scene in at one time, picture opportunities were great and I was very glad I did it.Īt the time I was there, they were talking about the project to put the nearby highways underground or something like that to make it look even better, but I thought it didn't seem as commercial as I would have expected. It's absolutely unlike Stonehenge though, as the stones are widely spaced and we didn't get the same feeling as at Stonehenge - much less the same kinds of pictures.Īt Stonehenge, we were able to walk among the stones (ie, we were not behind the ropes) and there were only about 15-20 people there. We walked a lot of the circle, out there with the sheep, and it was not overly crowded if you walked away from the other tourists. As the sun rises on the summer solstice (usually June 21 but in some years one day before/after), the 'heel stone' the one set apart from the rest lines up with the sun and the altar at the circle's center. I believe we left around 3pm, saw Avebury first, the a burial mound, had time for dinner in a pub, then went to Stonehenge just after it closed to the public.Īvebury has a huge spread out stone circle that basically circles the town. Most believe stone circles functioned as celestial calendars, and even after five thousand years Stonehenge still works as one. We were in a mini-bus and it was a pleasant afternoon. In 2003, I took my 11 year old son on a special access tour to Avebury and Stonehenge.

If you look on the English Heritage web site, the walk you can download, though its a circular walk from Amesbury passng throgh Wood and Stonehenge Posted by By Rick Demas JanuPosted in News Archive The passing of Susan Scott is a sad moment for many, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people, and certainly for Circles for Reconciliation.Back in December 2016, following a CBC radio broadcast about us at the very beginnings of our project, Susan called me and we met for coffee. Stonehenge is 20 miles south, if you stop short at Wood Henge (free access) you can also see Durrington Wells the neolihic feasting village for Stonehenge and unlike most visitors walk up to Stonehenge along the original ceromonial route visiting more burial mounds and the Cirrus.

You can also go inside West Kennet Long Barrow burial mound, again free access. You can also walk up to the Marlborough Downs above Avebury where teh Sarson stones used for Stonehenge and Avebury still litter the ground.
The avenue up to the henge is also in place and again is very impressive. Its much better than Stonehenge in some respects like the actually henge circular ditch is still there and a real treat, banks must be 40' high compared with Stonehenge's where unless you wouldn't know its there unless told. I would suggest that you consider combining Avebury, Woodhenge then finally Stonehenge and make a day of it.Īvebury henge is totally free access, you just have to watch where you're walking with all the sheep.
