In the footsteps of Jellicoe...


The Jellicoe Community has launched a blog - on which you can follow the news of a growing team of interns who are engaged in work with Christian congregations in multi faith contexts. Dedicated to 1920s slum priest Basil Jellicoe, the community is another project of the Contextual Theology Centre.  Students are currently focused on preparations for London Citizens' assembly - bringing together 2000 people from churches, mosques, synagogues, temples and other civil society organisations in the city's poorest neighbourhoods.

Eventful week

This Saturday (14th) sees the last of this term's PEN Seminars - and our theme is 'Praying and Worshipping'.  We will be meeting at the London Inter Faith Centre with coffee from 9.30am and a packed programme of practical stories and theological reflection from ten until one.  Speakers include Fergus Capie (director of the Centre and incumbent of St Anne's, Brondesbury), Anders Bergquist (Vicar of St John's Wood and formerly Vice-Principal of Westcott House), Michael Camp (Area Dean of Bromley) and Helen Sanderson (of the Recovering the Calm Project at St Ethelburga's).  Please email Susanne Mitchell if you plan to attend.

The seminar is on the eve of Inter Faith Week.  As you can see, it will be an eventful time in Greater London!
