Sustaining the Sacred Centre
This is about encouraging and enabling clergy and lay people to deepen their enjoyment of God, and to recognize God's presence in everyday life.
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.

Twenty things for twenty-ten
There are many different ways of praying. The phrase 'sustaining the sacred centre’ invites us to find, and then nurture, the way of praying that is right for us. It is also about developing the links between the prayers we offer and the lives we lead.
Here are some ideas to try out during 2010.
