What's on

August Bible Study Course

Every Friday at for 1 hour, 30 mins
Please note that this event will not start until
The Minster Rooms
Court Barton Ilminster, TA19 0DU, United Kingdom

The Revd Graham Stephenson will lead his fourth annual study course, completing a look at the major parts of the New Testament. This year's course will be on The Forgotten and Hidden Books of Early Christianity. Come and discover why we have 27 books in the New Testament, and only four gospels, when we now know, because of recent archaeological discoveries, of at least five times that number, (including whole or part books of more than forty gospels). Read some of this forgotten and hidden material for yourself, and consider whether or not limiting the New Testament has been good or bad for the church? Because of the need to provide course materials please let Graham know if you would like to attend on 01460-52470, or by email to [email protected].

Safeguarding

The churches within the Benefice of Ilminster Whitelackington are committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs. The Diocese of Bath & Wells’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
