The first is an imperative to re-engage those on the periphery of our parish and inviting everyone to re-discover the joy of coming to church. We are doing this by looking various aspects of joy
. Belonging, family ... We look forward to welcoming visiting preachers coming and challenging us
The second is something which we are doing as part of a whole diocese initative ... of engaging with poverty here in our neighbourhood ... in our city. I suppose I would like to ask the question of anyone reading this blog
- How can the church, especially in leafy sub-urban city areas engage with poverty which is usually hidden?
- How can we support social services who know where there is much need?
- What sort of poverty do you experience?
We are called to help the poor ... but practically how? would love to hear readers views ... please do email me, leave a comment on blog or facebook!
Regards
RF
