God in Lockdown is a book which emerged from the Thoughts for the Day written by Hazel Whitehead during Lockdown 1.

Every one of the 50 reflection is followed by three questions which are starters for ten for further conversation. They can be used in on-line meetings as well as the more traditional face to face groups.

Hazel Whitehead is a former Director of Discipleship, Vocation and Ministry in the diocese of Guildford. She writes: "When I was much younger, I used to think about life and wonder where God fitted in to it, and what God was saying and thinking. Much later, I was taught to call this natural activityTheological Reflection and had to learn and teach different methods and give names to the various stages. 

"It doesn’t matter whether you have studied the theory and read the academic books or not but my hope is that, by engaging with some of the 50 reflections in God in Lockdown you might catch a glimpse – through the twigs of a nest or in the flight of a goose – of God in Lockdown."

With titles such as Tiny, happy people, Following the Crowd, Priscilla and Aquila, Ampliatus and who? Hanging out the Washing and Marcus Rashford for PM - there is something for everyone.

Students, ordinands, licensed lay ministers, clergy and interested lay people will find it a good resource for ministry and discipleship.
