Learning through the Pandemic - Diocese of Bristol learning event for clergy and church leadership
Thursday 24 September – 11:00-17:00
Join us as we come together as a Diocese to consider the church and society as we move from a period of COVID-19 pandemic, into a COVID-19 influenced winter and beyond.
We will consider content by Dr Cathy Ross from Church Mission Society (CMS) who will share with us her theological and missional insights thoughts on the time we are in; and by BritainThinks who will provide insight into how society is changing as a result of the pandemic.
Zoom based discussion groups will then enable us to focus on some specific topics and share our own experiences, reflections and insights.
This event will help us to understand the impact of the extraordinary time we have been living few, to come together to share experiences and learn from each other for mutual growth.
This event is aimed at all clergy and church leadership within the Diocese of Bristol with different sessions available for you to join throughout the day.
The day consists of four interconnected elements with space between each segment [This is not a full day on Zoom!] - please join us for as much, or as little of the day as you wish. Please register to receive login details for each element.
