Bristol Inter Faith Group have arranged a 'Dialogue Circle' for Wednesday 23rd May at 7.30 p.m. at Bethesda Methodist Church, Church Road, Redfield (on the corner of Church Road and Avonvale Road). The subject is 'Faith and the Environment' and speakers from different faith communities will give brief statements on what their faith teaches about care of the environment and what their communities are doing as a response to climate change, resource depletion, etc.
Do churches need so many structures, processes, programmes and organisations? What is essential and what could we dispense with? What do we need to inspire faith, sustain mission and build community? and what do we have the energy and resources to sustain? If you are asking these questions about church you might want to come along to “Simply Church”, an opportunity to explore these issues through a mixture of story-sharing, discussion and missional reflection. On Saturday 26th May, 10am – 4pm, at Horfield Baptist Church, Gloucester Road, Bristol, BS7 8NY; £20 (unwaged £12) - includes lunch
