Every now and then we find something that’s worth sharing with anyone involved in ministry. If you are a clergy or lay leader, or are simply getting on with life in your own communities, this is for you.
The following video tells a remarkable story of a newly ordained minister from Washington State in the USA, and what he learnt about connecting with people in a rural parish in the north of Scotland. It’s a real encouragement- and challenge - for all of us to slow down and walk at God’s pace, getting to know and be known by people around us.
With some of the huge changes going on in the church and our world, it’s easy to get disheartened, what can one person like me really achieve? This video will get you thinking and help you dive deeper into what happens when we take the time to really get to know and love people around us.
The video lasts for around 35 minutes and is followed by a recording of a workshop for any who want to dig deeper.
