The Post-Lockdown Church
Location
Online event
Our autumn webinar series exploring the challenges and opportunities for the Church in this new reality.
About this event
Across our diocese, parishes, schools, families and individuals have had to work out what it means to be Catholic when our church doors were closed. Now we have an opportunity to reflect on what we have learned and what we want to take into the future. This weekly series of talks will look at the Post-Lockdown Church from a variety of perspectives, including mission, building community, pastoral outreach, Scripture and spirituality. It is hosted by the Pastoral Ministry Office of the Diocese of Northampton.
