Being Christian Course in July

Being Christian Course held throughout July

There is a Christian Course happening at St Marks to be led by the Vicar Reverend Nick Wells and Reverend Ruth Wells.

Rowan Williams, as some of you know, served as the 104th Archbishop of Canterbury (from 2002 to 2012), and has written a number of books on Christianity, ‘Being Christian’ is a notable one.

Nick and Ruth will examine and lead discussion on the text within this book and maybe provoke other discussions.

When:      Every Wednesday in July, starting on the 9th (with a ‘top up’ on August 6th)

Time:        6.30pm

Where:    St. Mark’s Church

Precis on the book itself :

In this simple, beautifully written book Rowan Williams explores four essential components of the Christian life: baptism, Bible, Eucharist, and prayer. Despite huge differences in Christian thinking and practice both today and in past centuries, he says, these four basic elements have remained constant and indispensable for the majority of those who call themselves Christians.

In accessible, pastoral terms Williams discusses the meaning and practice of baptism, the Bible, the Eucharist, and prayer, inviting readers to really think through the Christian faith and how to live it out. Questions for reflection and discussion at the end of each chapter help readers to dig deeper and apply Williams’s insights to their own lives.
