Good morning all,
On behalf of Hannah Wygiera, our Provincial Synod Youth Delegate, I am forwarding her endorsement of the Difference Course. Please share this information, particularly among the youth of your parish.
Blessings, Carol Tubman
After attending Provincial Synod as a youth delegate, I was inspired to connect the youth of our diocese by running the Difference course. This course was created by the Archbishop of Canterbury's Reconciliation Ministries and explores what it means to follow Jesus in a complex and divided world, seeing transformation through everyday encounters. While this course is not specifically designed for any one age group, I would like to offer it to the youth of the diocese.
The youth of today are incredibly active in seeking change. They are the loudest voices searching for answers. This course will explore how to pursue reconciliation in the name of Jesus. This course will be available for ages 16-25 and will be offered on Zoom on Sunday evenings at 7 pm, starting on May 15.
There are 5 sessions: God's Call, Crossing Divides, Navigating Disagreement, Practising Forgiveness, and Risking Hope. Each session includes films, Bible readings, prayer, and discussion. It seeks to develop three habits for participants to start applying in their own lives: Be Curious, Be Present, and Reimagine. Reconciliation is a process and through these sessions we will explore the possibilities to the question of "What would life be like if...?"
