- Title
- Listening to Prayer, Love and Faith in Local Action Consultation Event
- Date
- Saturday 14 February 2009
- Time
- 10am to 3pm
- Description
-
The aim of the day is to inform the Church in Society's future work programme and examine how best to support churches in their response to local community need. The Committee wants to strengthen its networks with the variety of people and church groups who are involved in bridging the gap between faithful and civic life.
The day will start by examining love in action through themes of listening, identity, belonging, power and negotiating relationships. It will then look at the added value of being a church in a local community: Moving from reflection to solutions. How do we become more effective? How does Love in Action feed back into Church life? What can the Provincial Church in Society Committee do to help dioceses? Woven through the day will be discussion in groups and opportunities for prayer and reflection.

'Almighty God, whose Son Jesus Christ is the resurrection and the life: raise us, who trust in him, from the death of sin to the life of righteousness, that we may seek those things which are above, where he reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.'
