Shaping the Church of the Future

These sessions, under the title “Shaping the Church of the Future”, offer a chance to explore “a theology of church for beginners”. How does our understanding relate to the practicalities of mission and ministry in our parish, deanery and diocesan contexts? Each session looks at two ideas that offer different and complementary ways of understanding our Church and how these shape our life together.

Week 1 (17 May): Social Institution and Servant of the Kingdom
balancing the needs of the church with the needs of the world

Week 2 (7 june): Herald of Good News and Pilgrim People
having a message and being on a journey of exploration

Week 3 (21 June): School of Discipleship and Field Hospital
learning holiness and obedience, acknowledging sin and woundedness

All three sessions will take place 7.30 – 9.00pm, on Zoom, and will be led by John Fitzmaurice, Director of Vocations and Ordinands, and Doug Chaplin, Discipleship and Lay Training Officer.
