I extend a warm invitation to you and to any Anglicans in your Diocese to attend – either clergy or laity. The conference is designed to appeal to a wide range of people – from enquirer and newcomer all the way through to mature Christian. It is hoped that everyone will be inspired and encouraged in their faith.

Diary it now to be part of this special opportunity to gather for spiritual growth, worship and encouragement, with inspirational leaders. Bishop Eleanor Sanderson will share about discipleship – what it is, how we can grow in confidence as disciples of Jesus, and how we can all get better at making new disciples. Other speakers and a panel will share the day and there will be a conference stream for children. So, come! Whatever your age, and whatever your stage – whether exploring faith, new to faith or seasoned Christian.
