Living God's Future Now - w/c 4 October 2020

'Living God’s Future Now’ is HeartEdge's online festival of theology, ideas and practice.

We’re developing this in response to the pandemic and our changing world. The church is changing too, and - as we improvise and experiment - we can learn and support each other.
