We’ve developed 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.
This is 'Living God’s Future Now’ - talks, workshops and discussion - hosted by HeartEdge. Created to equip, encourage and energise churches - from leaders to volunteers and enquirers - at the heart and on the edge.

St Bride's Public Theology Lecture for LGBT+ History Month. Savitri Hensman will explore the concept of the church as a movement or community rather than collection of institutions and its members’ part in the shifts in attitudes and practice in church and society. LGBT+ History Month is a month-long annual celebration of lesbian, gay, bisexual trans, and non-binary history, including the history of LGBT+ rights and related civil rights movements. In the United Kingdom it is celebrated in February each year, to coincide with the 2003 abolition of Section 28. This year's theme is Body, Mind and Spirit. Savi Hensman is an activist and writer based in London and was one of the founders of the London's Black Lesbian and Gay Centre. Savi is a regular contributor to Ekklesia, who published her first book "Sexuality, Struggle and Saintliness: Same-Sex Love and the Church". She has also written for The Guardian, The Church of England News, as well as writing poetry.

Creating a New Communion
Zoom
Tuesday 110:00-11:30 BST

Exploring how generosity, gratitude, giving and fundraising call us into communion with God and with one another. Suitable for clergy and lay leaders. Inspired by Henri Nouwen and his wonderful book The Spirituality of Fundraising join this five-session free online study and discussion series, hosted by HeartEdge, and facilitated by the Dioceses of Hereford and York. Through Lent we’ll explore together Nouwen’s deep conviction that the ground of our common humanity and our life’s work is to accept the “call to be deeply, deeply connected with unconditional love, with our own fragile humanity, and with brothers and sisters everywhere.” What does this mean for you? For your ministry? For the church of today? For generosity, gratitude, giving and fundraising? Pre-session reading of ‘The Spirituality of Fundraising’, by Henri Nouwen although not essential, is recommended.
