A Spiritual MOT
An Hour in Lent
How are you doing with your faith?
How has your understanding of God changed in the last year or so?
Are you more able to pray, or do you find it more difficult?
Does God seem more real or more absent?
As Bishop John says:
'I can't think of anything more worthwhile than spending time talking about God, prayer, the spiritual journey, the pleasures and problems of faith.'
Why not spend an hour this Lent exploring your experiences, questions and issues about faith and doubt, prayer and Christian living, God and humanity?
