"Being holy, becoming and being a saint, does not mean being perfect but being whole; it does not mean being exceptionally religious, or being religious at all. It means being liberated from religiosity and religious pietism of any sort. It does not mean being godly, but rather being truly human. It does not mean being otherworldly, but it means being deeply implicated in the practical existence of this world without succumbing to this world or any aspect of this world, no matter how beguiling." William Stringfellow

Some changes to ususal events -
The usual, monthly, ministry of Laying on of Hands will be offered on Sunday 19 July NOT Sunday 26th July
The Awakening to God group will not be meeting during July or August

We think that human diversity tells us something about God's creativity. That's why we celebrate it. And you?

Those who seek nothing, neither honour nor profit, nor inwardness, nor holiness, nor reward, nor heaven, but who have renounced all this, including what is their own – in such [people] God is glorified. Eckhart von Hochheim (Meister Eckhart, c1260-1328)
