Seal Church is planning to run the Diocesan course,"Hearing God's Word", after Easter - dates to be decided. This is an introduction to interpreting and applying the Bible. Members of other parishes are more than welcome to join us.
If you are interested, please get in touch with the vicar, Anne Le Bas. The course is designed to run either over six evenings or over two Saturdays (all day) - I am happy to do either, depending on what the potential attendees can manage. It would be helpful if you could register which dates you could manage on the doodle poll here so that we can decide which option to follow.
The course is designed to lead into "Speaking God's Word" for those who wish to take their studies further. People who have completed both Hearing God’s Word and Speaking God’s Word and the assessment in Speaking God’s Word may be given permission from Bishop James to give talks on an occasional basis within their own parish context under the oversight of their incumbent or priest-in-charge. Those wishing to gain this ‘permission’ must attend all sessions of both courses and satisfactorily complete the assessment. There are more details on the Diocesan Website here.
