What is the OMEGA COURSE?

Fr Paul, the Rector of SPD, began 'The Omega Course' during the Covid lockdown as a way to encourage Christian education in the parish. It is named from the last letter in the Koine Greek Alphabet, ('as far away from Alpha as is possible', let the reader understand.)

The Course on ZOOM is also what some might call a 'Home' or 'Fellowship' Group, where we catch up with one another, offer support, prayer and solidarity, as well as doing some participatory theological study together. The Course is lively and enjoyable! Please do login and join the Course. We look forward to your contribution.
