For those who enjoyed the podcast with Dr Marijke Hoek, Gardener and Poet Jim Payne shares personal stories from his life and gives us a unique take on culture, nature and spirituality.
The podcasts are largely interviews with some of the fascinating people who pass through Ashburnham Place during the course of the year. We talk to artists, business leaders, theologians, teachers and many others, exploring how they follow Jesus in their field and how they overcome the specific challenges they face.
A Legacy of Leadership at Ashburnham Place
As the seasons shift at Ashburnham Place, we reflect on a significant transition in our community. After 29 years of dedicated service, including 20 as Chair of Trustees, Dr. Roger Mitchell has stepped back, leaving behind a legacy of wisdom, grace, and Christlike love. We honor his immense contributions and welcome Rev. Ray Djan and Dr. Marijke Hoek as co-chairs, ushering in a new chapter for the Ashburnham Christian Trust. This post celebrates Roger’s impact and expresses gratitude for everyone who supports Ashburnham Place as a gift to many.
