Fiona Brownlee reported that: "Canon John Erb focused on our theme of 'Living Stones' and helped us to explore what it means to be a living stone in the church of God ... 'stones live through the changes from outside of them, being transformed into possible building stones, gem stones, marking stones, corner stones. No natural element remains the same, it may take centuries but they are transformed. Living stones are not only alive in themselves, but also alive to the forces around them, we must be helped to experience that liveliness .. we need to be open to the transformation God is calling us to experience'."
