Church Urban Fund - Join us for an hour of reflection on the value of listening to one another’s stories, plus practical ideas and inspiring examples for using stories to bring projects alive, empower communities, and uncover hidden treasures.
Jesus used stories to teach his followers about the kingdom of God and spent time listening to people’s stories. When we take time to listen to the stories of others, and to share our own story, we deepen understanding, strengthen relationships, and transform our imagination about what is possible.

Dan Hitchens will ask what the advance of assisted suicide really means. Dan will address the profound cultural shift signalled by current legislation, marking a transition from the era of Cecily Saunders and the hospice movement to a new age where death is presented as a solution to what some advocates refer to as ‘useless lives.’ Setting the contemporary debate in its historical context, Dan will prompt us to consider how we should respond to this hinge moment for British society.

EVERY REVIVAL IN HISTORY HAS been birthed in and fuelled by prayer. As the ‘quiet revival’ gathers pace, this webinar, developed by Thy Kingdom Come with the College of Archbishops’ Evangelists, will draw upon extensive research into the link between prayer and church growth. It will examine how your church can best pray into this moment, discerning God’s plan for your parish and praying intentionally, specifically and effectively for your church to grow.
The Revd Dr Matthew Porter, Bishop of Bolton, Kemi Bamgbose, Project Lead for Thy Kingdom Come, Revd Sue Cooke, a member of the College of Archbishops’ Evangelists.
There will also be opportunity to learn from a series of case studies of strategic prayer for growth presented by churches of varying traditions, drawn together by the Thy Kingdom Come team, and to share your church’s experiences and put questions, facilitated by Revd David Senior who is hosting the webinar.
