Group News

In the first few months of 2023, Exploring World Faiths has continued to look at Anglian Faith with an emphasis on practice within our local community.

We have attended Sunday services at both St. George's and St. Peter's Churches. Our Tuesday meetups have been spent meeting both Rev’d Peter Hillman and Rev’d Andy Hudson who generously gave their time to inform about the Anglican Faith and also provide an insight into their personal journeys into their roles within the Church.

The photo on the right hand side, with beautiful light falling on the cross, was taken on our visit to St. Peter's Church, Thundersley.

In 2022, our Group has concentrated on the Christian Faith and at our October meeting we enjoyed a visit from Sister Rosario from the Sisters Of Mercy Catholic Order in Brentwood. Sister Rosario who is now 80 came over from Ireland when she was 16 and gave us an insight into her life as both a nun and a teacher working in England and in Africa.

She even undertook a parachute jump and wing walking to raise money for charity. Sister was very helpful in answering some of our questions about the Catholic Faith and our 2 hour visit went far too quickly.
