Prepare the way for Pentecost - Anglican

SeeRound Online April 2016/03 p1 www.stalbans.anglican.org/news/seeround News The Diocese of St Albans in Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Luton & Barnet April 2016 Issue 03 Prepare the way for Pentecost As Easter will soon be past, thoughts and plans are already turning to Pentecost; and those of the Archbishops of Canterbury and York already have. Their desire, their ‘great longing’ is to see a wave of prayer in Church of England and ‘many other churches’ between 8th and 15th May, ending at Pentecost. Resources for churches of all traditions to take part are being made available on www.thykingdom.co.uk. In the video accompanying the launch of the initiative, Archbishop Justin speaks of his hope that the wave of prayer can change the way that the church reaches out to the communities around us and the way that we serve and love them. The plans were outlined to General Synod in the report of the Archbishops’ Evangelism Task Group. That report says: “Sharing Christ with others is a joyful, encouraging and empowering feature of being a Christian disciple.” The hope is that through concerted prayer, people will GLVFRYHU QHZ FRQ¿GHQFH LQ VKDULQJ WKHLU IDLWK In their letter to every parish priest the Archbishops write: “At the heart of our prayers will be words that Jesus himself taught us – ‘Thy kingdom come, thy will be done.’ It is impossible to overstate the life-transforming power of the Lord’s Prayer. It is a prayer that is reassuring enough to be on the lips of the dying and yet dangerous enough to be banned in cinemas. It is famous enough to be spoken each day by billions in hundreds of languages and yet intimate enough to draw us ever closer into friendship with Jesus Christ. It is simple enough to be memorised by small children and yet profound enough to sustain a whole lifetime of prayer. When we pray it with sincerity and with joy, there is no imagining the new ways in which God can use us to his glory.” Faith Pictures is a new downloadable free course to help you talk to friends, neighbours and colleagues about what you believe. At the heart of it is identifying an image that says something about your faith. Each of the six sessions includes a short video and lively discussion-starters. Faith Pictures is a little different from most other courses. It has three main distinctives: Honesty about our faith journeys, without bracketing out the hard questions. Humour - Faith Pictures is designed to be fun and profound at the same time. Whole Church - Faith Pictures is a simple idea that can be used across different traditions and with different age groups. Faith Pictures is an easy way to open up potentially life- changing conversations, and it is free.
