Description of the retreat:

As Christians we surround ourselves every day with a multitude of answers to nagging questions about faith. We want not to focus on answers, but to look for questions. As Christians we have at our disposal every day a multitude of answers to nagging questions about faith. We can include among them e.g. books, prayers or objects that are important for our spiritual life. All these things are answers to questions that were asked a very long time ago. We want to stop at the question that is asked during every seder evening - why is this night different from all other nights?
