News and Resource Hub
News and Resources from All Saints
At All Saints we consider ourselves to be a learning community, particularly around the areas of Inclusive and Eco Church and in our desire to develop as an Intercultural Worshipping Community. The bible, theology, science and listening to the experiences of people, particularly those historically marginalised and discriminated against today, help us live out our Christian faith.
Our preaching, courses, creative seasonal liturgy and inspiring music help us in our learning and growing as Christians who are seeking to live out our faith in the modern world. The News and Resource Hub is being developed as the place to visit for recordings, videos, articles, discussions and liturgies to encourage, inspire and challenge.
Plus this is the place to share news of what we've been up to. Keep checking back as we add more over items over the coming year.
