InHabit : a course in living faithfully through prayer and reflective practice
2020-12-17 09:30 - 12:30
“The experience of lockdown along with the uncertainty of how Covid will continue to affect our social, work and church life means that many are finding themselves in a season of change, transition and questioning of how they might journey as people of faith in these challenging times. InHabit offers a potential way (and community) in which to reflect and discern what might be ‘ours to be and do’ at this particular point in our lives.”
InHabit is a brand new course written by the Revd Bridget Macaulay of The Vessel Trust and offered in partnership with the Diocese of Truro. Artist and poet, as well as priest, spiritual director and regular retreat and Quiet Day leader, Bridget has written a number of the Diocese’s Way of Life materials, including Praying on the Way. She has also combined faith, art and poetry in two publications, Something Understood and Earth and Vessels.
Bridget herself will lead this year-long course (approximately one day per month). She writes that it will “make use of the physical structure and spiritual rhythm of the monastery as an image and symbol of whole life discipleship and practical prayerfulness. The course aims to build a community of ordinary, prayerful, down to earth ‘monastics’! Reflecting personally and together, we will take stock in the different areas of our often busy and sometimes complex lives. The course aims to build simple habits of prayer and reflection that can find an active outworking in everyday living. By deepening our connection to Christ as the Centre we can respond more deeply to God’s calling to be active contemplatives in a world undergoing enormous change and transition.”
InHabit will launch online in January 2021 and an online Taster Session and explanation of the course structure will be offered on Thursday 17th Dec 9.30am-12.30pm, places for which can be booked through: Jane.Horton@truro.anglican.org
More information about the course/costs etc can be found at: http://vesseltrust.org.uk/ and: https://trurodiocese.org.uk/resources/discipleship/
Each day-long session will include:
*Communal prayers at the start and end of the day
*Teaching input and facilitated discussion
*Time spent building a practice of contemplative prayer. This half hour of shared silence will not follow a particular technique, approach or ‘school of prayer’ but where helpful may draw on simple resources to create space in which we remember and settle into God’s Presence.
*Time alone with resources for personal reflection
*Time within a small ‘Journey Group’ (maximum three or four people) to discuss, share, encourage and apply the learning of the day and the wider journey of faith and life
*Practical guidance for living out and applying the material explored in the session; often with a suggested ‘practice to practice’ between sessions
*Take away material to read and further resources on the theme of the day to explore if desired

Windows Into Eco-Theology
2021-01-18 19:30 - 21:30, 2021-01-25 19:30 - 21:30
The urgency of the environmental challenges the world faces has come particularly to the forefront of many people’s minds over the course of 2020. During the pandemic many people have become more deeply aware of their connection with the natural world around them, others have spent time watching the TV programmes of Sir David Attenborough and others and some have felt drawn, with Extinction Rebellion and other groups, to call on governments to do more to protect our vital natural heritage. In the Church also, efforts to care better for God’s creation have been stepped up this year, not least through the challenge given to the Church of England by General Synod to aim to be ‘Net Zero’ in our activities by 2030.
What resources do the Bible and Christian theology offer us as we reflect on this topic of ever-pressing urgency to all of us? Windows into Eco-Theology aims to equip us with some of the theological tools to think these issues through for ourselves and for our Christian communities. This is a parish-level theology course, with no prior knowledge of theology being assumed; as a ‘Windows Plus’ course, some familiarity with the Bible and basic Christian teaching is helpful, though not essential.
The course will be run over six Monday evenings and will be delivered by the Rev’d Elly Sheard via Zoom. 7.30 to 9.30 pm on January 18 & 25, February 1, 8, 15 and 22.

Unpacking the persecution problem: an online talk by Bishop Philip
2021-03-03 19:00 - 20:30 | online
UEA and the Keswick Hall Trust present an online talk on Christian persecution around the world by The Rt Revd Philip Mounstephen, The Bishop of Truro on March 3.

The event, which is free and open to all, will run between 7pm and 8.30pm.

According to the latest Open Doors World Watch List (2021) on Religious Persecution, over 340 million Christians around the world are facing high levels of persecution and discrimination for their faith. In 2018, Bishop Philip was tasked by the UK Government with investigating the persecution of Christians. His report has been fully accepted and is being implemented by the current government in support of freedom of religion and belief.

In this talk, Bishop Philip will discuss his investigation, the difficulties faced by believers in practicing their faith, and the need to unpack the persecution problem.

The talk is a key address in the UEA / Keswick Hall Trust lecture series and is introduced by Professor of Faith and Global Politics Lee Marsden. The talk will be followed by a Q&A.
