Encounter Programme 2018

Do you feel God nudging you to make a change in your life? To do something new, or something familiar in a deeper way? Would you like to spend time deepening your Christian discipleship with a group of fellow pilgrims, exploring your sense of vocation and what God may be calling you to do in the next phase of your life? If so, the Methodist Encounter programme may be for you. 

Starting in September we will be running a new stream of this successful Methodist discipleship programme. Encounter is open to anyone who would like to reflect where their Christian discipleship is leading them, whether you have a clear picture or just a feeling of a call to do more or something new. The programme will run from September 2018 until July 2019, with monthly gatherings of the Encounter group on a Sunday evening at one of the Methodist churches in Calderdale. 

For more information or to register an interest in participating in the programme see the Encounter website, contact the programme facilitators, Revd Francis Neil, Caroline Stead or Bob Young: This email address is being protected from spambots.

Christian Witness in a Multi-Religious World

Our Deputy Chair, Revd Dr Barbara Glasson, has been involved in putting together a new booklet, ‘Acting in God’s Love: Christian Witness in a Multi-Religious World’. This practical theological resource uses the document 'Christian Witness in a Multi-Religious World: Recommendations for Conduct' produced by the World Council of Churches (WCC) and the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA). It aims to help you gain a practical understanding towards application of the guidelines, provide a wider perspective of the UK context and develop deeper theological reflection on interfaith engagement. 

Copies of the booklet can be downloaded from the Churches Together in Britain & Ireland website.
