SUMMARY:Raising Awareness of Domestic Abuse training
DESCRIPTION:There is a requirement that the Responding Well to Domestic Abuse Training course is completed by all clergy\, PTO\, Readers\, Bishop and Pastoral visitors\, Parish Safeguarding Officers\, PCC and lay chapter members. It is estimated that domestic abuse affects 1 in 3 women and 1 in 7 men. Therefore\, we will all know people who are victims and perpetrators of domestic abuse. \nThe aim of the module is designed to equip participants to engage thoughtfully and proactively with the issue of domestic abuse and those affected. \nWe recognise that not everyone will wish to complete modules online so we are also offering some face-to-face sessions. This might be a good way to ensure that people feel safe and supported when accessing the training\, particularly with this module. \nThis course will be run at Porch Rooms\, Minchinhampton Church \nTo book a place\, please email: ku.gro.coidsolg@gniniartgnidraugefas

SUMMARY:Open the Gospel Learning Community
DESCRIPTION:Do you sometimes read the Gospel for this coming Sunday and wonder what new perspective you might find? \n \nWould you value space to wrestle with the text with other\, faithful people? Could you benefit from help thinking through how to connect with all generations through your preaching? \nIf you sometimes feel isolated\, uninspired and like you’d benefit from a sounding board as you prepare to preach\, we are here for you! \nOpen the Gospel is an online learning community of preachers\, lay and ordained\, where each week on a Monday we will engage with the Gospel reading for the coming Sunday from different perspectives. \nIt is a space to listen and learn from one another and\, in the process\, create recorded resources that can be accessed at any time and used in services where a preacher is not available. \nTo join the conversation at 1pm please click here \n
