Renewal and Reform is the current process of structural change in the Church of England; ‘an ambitious programme of work, which seeks to provide a narrative of hope to the Church of England in the 21st century’. The main aims are to contribute as the national church to the common good, to facilitate the growth of the church in numbers and depth of discipleship and to re-imagine the church’s ministry

On Thursday evening this week I attended a lecture at Preston Minster entitled ‘Reneawl and Reform; Does it have a Theology’. The lecture was given by Rev’d Dr. Jeremy Worthen who outlined the theological foundations of the programme. The viodeo will shortly be available on the Diocesan Website and a link will be shown here as soon as possible.
By the way, Preston Minster is lovely – if you’re in the area doing your Christmas shopping why not call in for a few moments of peace and prayer?
