Pastoral Principles for Living Well Together Course The Church of England has put together a short five-session course, Pastoral Principles for Living Well Together, to help churches look at how we live, learn and relate well to each other in the face of difference and diversity. In this course we are invited to think about things that can impair relationships and hinder our flourishing and growth together: prejudice, silence, ignorance, fear, hypocrisy and power. From mid-June to mid-July, we will be running a number of small groups exploring this course and we are inviting you to participate in one of the groups if you would like to do so. The groups will be facilitated with between five to seven participants in each. They will run at different times and on different days of the week, starting on Sunday 13 June. Some groups will be face to face and some online. Each session will have a different focus; all will involve looking at a passage from the Bible, reflection and discussions, and will be accompanied by a short film. If you would be interested in participating in this course, please email the Revd Lydia Morey at [email protected] or write to her at the Cathedral address. She will then give you further information regarding options of times and days, and you will be able to state whether you would prefer to do the course face to face or online.
