Ever been asked to ‘say a prayer’ over a necklace, a sound system, a new
church loo, a youth leader or even (‘can we do this, vicar?’) a newly
adopted god-parent? If so, you may have been driven to reflect about the
whys and wherefores (or the theology and practice) of responding to such
requests for blessings, commissionings and dedications. People do, though,
increasingly seem to be asking for such prayer. Why and how should we
respond, and where, if anywhere, find the words?
Our speakers will encourage us to be theologically and practically
imaginative, as well as pastorally sensitive, as we consider together what
we think we’re doing and why, discuss new ideas and good practice, and
attempt to identify or create appropriate text resources.
You can book on-line for this as well now.
Webmaster: The Reverend Richard Curtis
