HeartEdge update & events






We had a great day yesterday at the HeartEdge Deepening Spirituality day with the London Centre for Spiritual Direction.

We experienced different approaches to deepening the spirituality of congregations and individuals with: Nigel Rooms, Partnership for Missional Church UK, CMS; Richard Carter, Associate Vicar for Mission, St Martin-in-the-Fields; and Antonia Lynn, Community Warden and Referrals Coordinator, LCSD. A wide range of approaches were shared through presentations, interactive exercises, table talks and workshops. Lots of people came and there was lots of interest. Also, lots of wisdom in the room and lots of insights shared.
