“Inspiring, engaging, encouraging and challenging” are just some of the words being used to describe this year’s Autumn Roadshows.

This year the Roadshows focussed on a more pro-active approach encouraging parishes to ‘Walk the Walk’ with a variety of live testimonials and video case studies about the work being done across the diocese and the feedback was that this resulted in the ‘best roadshow ever’.

With opening prayers and worship from Archdeacon Audrey Elkington, and information about plans for next year including Pilgrim Walks with the Bishops to a challenge to tell 2,016 faith stories in 2016, the roadshows have also had live performances by local Open the Book teams, and a sharing of faith stories.
