At the Abbey we like to take significant time to work our way through a book of the Bible, to discuss, listen, talk, read, disagree and grow. This autumn our teaching series centres on the life and ministry of Jesus in Mark’s gospel, with accompanying readings from Isaiah. Timothy Keller’s new book ‘King’s Cross’ accompanies and frames the new series, it’s available at the back of the abbey, and is a really thoughtful read from a great teacher …

November 20th 7-8pm at the Abbey,

December 18th 8.30pm for a social (venue to …

But a diocese is also the sum of its parts: our 204 churches in seven deaneries, 67 church schools, chaplaincies across the sectors and the structures that help join them together. And …

This summer, from the Old Testament books of Kings, comes the dazzling and shocking ministries of the 9th Century BC prophets Elijah and Elisha. In an ancient world where king, queen and prophets worshipped the local Canaanite deity Baal-malqart, two voices are raised to challenge the laziness of idolatry and compromise. Their words can be white hot with rebuke or self-doubting; their actions can be shaped by determined faith or debilitating depression. And they come asking a three thousand year old question—do you want to be relevant to society, or …
