Join with other South Hackney Churches for our ecumenical Lent course 2017
The 2017 Lent resource explores how Christian faith has been deepened and enriched by encounters with people of different religions. This is not a resource that necessarily emphases common ground or that is about dialogue. Rather, it explores how Christian faith has burned brightly following an encounter with the religious other. You will find familiar Lenten themes in this material but with, what we hope, is a different approach.
The sessions are being led by a different church each week: on Wednesdays, 4.30-6.00pm, repeated the same day 7.30-9.00pm (refreshments available for ½ hour before each session):
