Without a brightly coloured jacket, and with the Bible as my guide book rather than Bradshaw, today I will guide you on some of the Great Faith Journeys of the World: from Exodus to Emmaus; from Wise Men to Walsingham; from Paul’s mission to Pilgrimage.

Luke left us some of the best-loved Gospel stories, such as the Prodigal Son and the Good Samaritan. What were the sources he worked with and how did he structure his Gospel? How do the opening chapters help us to know what matters to Luke? What are his key themes throughout the Gospel? What links can be made between the Gospel text and the life of the Church today? The speaker is passionate about exploring the riches of Biblical texts with others, come and share in exploring Luke’s Gospel with our speaker. The day will provide 4 sessions of input and provide opportunity for discussion.

We all have times when our prayer feels dry or it’s difficult to be attentive to God. And often we can struggle to know why God seems to have become silent. This experiential workshop will help you to explore how silence can deepen your relationship with God and with yourself.
The day will be suitable for people who have little experience of silence-based prayer and those with some experience but who want to find out more.
Please note it is not possible to join the Community for Midday prayers or the Eucharist on this day

exploring silence 27.10.2018
The lecture takes the idea that education needs to anticipate an age when automation is going to affect the job market in potentially devastating ways. It also challenges education systems that are too narrow and instrumental in their understanding of ‘intelligence’. I also explore the idea of ‘fullness’. Instead of thinking purely about mindfulness, exploring other sorts of ‘fullness’ – thoughtfulness, carefulness, thankfulness, self-forgetfulness, resourcefulness, playfulness, hopefulness – with the thought that we are only ever ‘full’ in so far as we participate in the fullness of God. I commend an understanding of what it means to try to be human and humane in a digital age, drawing on Christian insight and wisdom.’

The ocean dominates the surface of the earth and is in the pages of the Bible too. The Bible offers a view of the sea and the life it supports which affirms its intrinsic value to God as a good, and indeed essential, part of creation. At the same time, it also speaks perceptively of the sea’s vulnerability to damage and change. The Bible’s focus on the sea raises questions about economics and the interconnectedness of communities, whilst further references to the sea raise questions about our human-centredness and spirituality, and about our fear of chaos and disaster.

The Community of the Resurrection and the Mirfield Liturgical Institute present
Space, People and Ritual: The first cathedral at Salisbury (Old Sarum)
Lecturer: Dr John Harper Honorary Professor, University of Birmingham; Emeritus Professor, Bangor University; Emeritus Director, The Royal School of Church Music.
Church of the Resurrection, Mirfield
This event is FREE, booking essential
The first cathedral at Salisbury has been ruinous since at least 1250, but it was the space in which the Use of Salisbury was established in the 12th century. Using the Customary drawn up for the cathedral (and edited by Walter Howard Frere in The Use of Sarum), the evidence of the ruins and the early 20th-century excavation, and recent enactments of medieval liturgy, it is possible to piece together something of the experience of worship in this lost building – a building which proved to be so influential, not only on the new cathedral built in the 13th century, but also on liturgical practice throughout much of Britain up to the Reformation and beyond.
Evensong at 6.00pm.
Pre-booked supper available from 6.45pm. £7.50

Walter Tapper Lecture 2018 poster
The day will be a mixture of quiet spaces and creative wet-felting activities using coloured Merino wool and other fibres to make your own distinctive needle case and notebook cover. You will be able to work at your own pace but with ideas, teaching and support provided. The day will begin and end with a short meditation and time of quiet, joining with the Brothers for their lunchtime worship if you so wish. There will also be brief periods of silence throughout the day – for a few minutes each hour. Quite surprisingly, these small silences bring a powerful and extra dimension of stillness and spirituality to our day and to our creativity.
