    A mystery singer, Eco Church and a celebrated chapel

    Helen Stephens is from A Rocha UK, the organisation behind Eco Church. She's here to set out their christian conservation work, what drew her to be such a champion of the environment and how YOUR church can support and cherish the planet. Hear too from Ann Atkin over in Astcote in Northamptonshire - the chapel she attends recently reached it's 150th birthday and Ann is keen to tell its story and how her family are inexorably linked to it. Given that we started off with a mystery - it's only right that we solve it and right near the end of the episode, not only will there be a resolution, but her work in the community will be brought bang up to date.

    I refuse to lead a dying church : Paul Nixon

    It was a weekday in unassuming Whittlesey in Peterborough. At the Leaders Lunch in the local Methodist church, one American gentleman spoke words of defiance and implacability. " I didn't sign on to watch the KIngdom of God wither away ", was the first thing Paul Nixon said to this podcast. He's an author and ordained Minister and was there to talk about the ideas and actions in his book " I refuse to lead a dying church. " Paul means business, as you'll find out. The Torch Trust do some inspired, heart warming and vital work. Supporting worshippers with sight loss and other sight based challenges is their main purpose. They do that and so much more and we're really pleased to speak with their Chief Exec Sarah Dawkins. You may recall some months ago that we covered the forming of a new LEP ( Local Ecumenical Partnership ) between Kingsthorpe Methodist Church and Kingsthorpe Baptist Church - well, we have an update. Kingsthorpe Community Church, as they're now known, have just held a Coming Together day. Catherine Bruce is with us to explain how it was done and what the outcomes were.

    Holy Habits

    Holy Habits is described thus: "....a way of life for those exploring or already actively living out the call of Jesus to ‘follow me’. It is a way of life for all ages and cultures; a way of life based on Luke’s portrait of the community of followers of Jesus that we see in Acts 2:42–47; a way of life that nurtures whole-life, missional discipleship; a way of life that, when lived faithfully day by day and fruitfully both personally and collectively, encourages others to join the adventure of following Jesus." ( credit - Holy Habits website ) In this episode, Andrew Roberts, it's author explains how he approached the writing and why it was important to him. You'll also hear how one circuit is implementing the course - Rev'd David Spiers and Jenny Brooks join us for a chat. Plus there's a wonderfully inspiring look back at the Connexional year by Matt Forsyth of the District Mission Team.
