This course invites reflection on what minimum requirements need to be present for a diocese to participate in the mission of God. In the light of that reflection it asks for prayer about how our unity with God and in the Body of Christ might grow and deepen that the world might believe (John 17:21)
An introduction to the five week Lent course - this leaflet will set out the context for the five week sessions - it can be found here
