Handling the text of Revelation with confidence
I wonder how equipped you feel at the moment in dealing with the book of Revelation which above all is about “the survival of hope” [i], a hope which “hopes beyond death.”[ii] Such hope “germinates close to the abyss”[iii] of despair of those original readers who were living in fearful times under the dreadful threat of martyrdom.
We are really looking forward to welcoming from the Cathedral, Neal Barnes, Sub Dean and Cannon for Mission and Faith Development who will lead us through two evenings of study, practical input and discussion that will help us to handle the text of Revelation with confidence and see better the Lion who is a Lamb, whose dwelling will indeed be with his people.
Book your place here refreshments available from 6.30.
