Christians keen to work for social reconciliation are invited to a special Difference training day, backed by the Archbishop of Canterbury, at Bradford Cathedral this summer.
Archbishop Justin Welby has a vision for the church to be a reconciling presence in the midst of conflict – The Difference movement.
His view is that in a conflicted and hurting world, many long for faith to have a positive impact, but in the messiness of life it can be hard to know where to start.
The Difference movement is funded by the Lambeth Partnership, which supports the Archbishop's personal priorities and it brings together those who want to explore what it means to follow Jesus in the face of conflict and see transformation through everyday encounters.
It centres on three habits which can shape our daily lives and relationships: Be Curious; Be Present; and Reimagine.
To help followers of Jesus explore these habits in more depth, Archbishop Justin has brought together "leading peacemaking thinkers and practitioners" to create a five-session course to help them encounter others well, cross divides and work towards the common good.
The course at Bradford Cathedral is on Tuesday, June 2, 10am to 4.30pm and is for those who wish to run the Difference Course in their churches or centres.
The day will be interactive and is a great chance to experience the course material and meet others who'll be running it. Refreshments will be provided throughout the day.
Please bring along your own lunch.
