Living Faith Stories

How has Living Faith inspired you in your local setting?

We'd like to follow up the Living Faith DVD with

  • stories
  • videos
  • interviews
  • pictures

that demonstrate how parishes in our diocese are focusing their work on the five Living Faith principles.

If you've got a story, activity or event that we could cover please tell the parish development adviser for your area.

Developing Confdent Collaborative Leadership

This is about developing leadership using all the resources available to the local church. It would involve consolidation in some parishes and new work in others to build up shared ministry in teams, with appropriate training and support.

On this page we will highlight stories from around the diocese that illustrate this aspect of Living Faith.  If you would like us to feature an event or initiative your parish if running do let us know.
