“OPEN TO THE WORLD”
An Exploration of the Gospel of Luke
During this Christian year the focus of our readings at the Sunday Eucharist is the Gospel according to Luke. Its unique character is universal in outlook, and demonstrates Jesus’ concern for the outsider and the exploited.
Over four Monday evenings we shall explore different aspects of this Gospel, gain an insight into the world from which it emerged, and explore its meaning for today’s world.
Each session will comprise of a 45 minute presentation and discussion, followed by a cuppa and end with Compline (Night Prayer) at 8.15pm so that you can be on your way home by 8.30pm.

“CHRIST PLAYS IN TEN THOUSAND PLACES”
A Seires of Talks and Discussions on
the relationship of Faith to aspects of Human Well-being
The title of these talks is taken from a poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins to echo his conviction that the world and all human activity is shot-through with glimpses of the divine. It is hoped that these talks will help us to explore how faith impinges on various areas of personal and social well-being.
Each talk is followed by questions and discussion, with a cuppa to finish. You should be on your way home by 9.00pm.
