 Lent course begins. All welcome.  

The course material produced by the Church of England invites us to think about the things that impair relationships identifying six ‘pervading evils’: prejudice, silence, ignorance, fear, hypocrisy, and power. These ‘evils’ hinder our personal growth as Christians, hurt other people, and create barriers that stop our churches from growing into Christian communities of welcome and belonging. They are the opposite of the fruit of the Spirit. It is easy to see these ‘evils’ in others; the hard work is to see them within ourselves.
It seems particularly important to have a good foundation as we consider our different responses to issues being debated within the national church.

SESSION 1 Listening and speaking – addressing IGNORANCE and paying attention to POWER

SESSION 2 Talking about confidence and casting out FEAR 

SESSION 3 Talking about respect and acknowledging PREJUDICE 

SESSION 4 Talking about openness and speaking into SILENCE 

SESSION 5 Talking about integrity and admitting HYPOCRISY

Each session starts with a short video and has a downloadable coursebook.
