HeartEdge April Mailer

This week the latest HeartEdge Mailer has been published crammed full of ideas and information relating to the 4Cs. It includes:
  • Bryony Taylor on tips and tactics for online church, Maggi Dawn on lockdown, Cormac Russell on Covid-19 and community engagement, a benediction from Jane Manfredi and Sherry Maddock on going deeper.
  • Amsterdam on a holistic 'donut' response, the challenge of managing a business in the pandemic with 'Clean for Good'. And phone trees!
  • 'High Profile' interviews including Patti Smith, all the Greenbelt talks since 2001 and Arvo Pärt. Also, three brilliant short films to share. And free cards to share via 'Out-of-the-Box'
  • Plus an extract from Harvey Kwiyani's excellent new book 'Multicultural Kingdom: Ethnic Diversity, Mission and the Church'.
The Mailer can be found here.

Just missing our deadline for inclusion was an important article by Naomi Jacobs in yesterday's Church Times entitled 'Disabled People say welcome to our world'. Maybe now churches will listen to people with disabilities about inclusive ministry, Naomi suggests.

The work that Fiona Macmillan leads at St Martin-in-the-Fields in partnership with Inclusive Church is described.

After lockdown, Naomi will be leading research for HeartEdge into the 4Cs - compassion, culture, commerce, congregation.

Most of all, though, what is described and discussed in this article are approaches and attitudes in the Church, as a whole, that need to change.

Naomi's article can be read here.
