Finding Faith

I wonder how you came to faith? Coming to faith might seem like a mysterious process, something best left for those with the title ‘Evangelist’. But the most effective evangelist I have known was a woman in her 80s who cared about everyone who walked through the church doors and made it her role to get to know them, support them, reach out to them and ultimately to draw them into the wonderful community that is the church. The thing is that I might be called the Canon for Evangelism and Discipleship, but evangelism is about relationship and that means it’s about how all of us approach one another. 

During January we trialled two Finding Faith evenings, open to anyone who would like to join in and a wonderful a way for us to get to know each other and explore what faith means to us. They were great evenings with some really interesting conversations, a deepening of relationships with those who are already a part of the Cathedral community and the start of some new friendships. We enjoyed them so much we’ve decided to continue the sessions on the first Sunday of each month from 6pm – 8pm in the Cathedral.

So please join us on 1st March for the next session where Revd Jackie-Dee Thornton, Chaplain to Anglia Ruskin University,  will be sharing her faith story with us.
