ACI Zoom: Rewilding Faith – Creating New Spaces for Faith Workshop

ACI Zoom: Rewilding Faith  

Creating New Spaces for Faith Workshop

Thurs 14th March – 8.00 p.m.

With Patricia Higgins

A workshop to equip and encourage lay people to take leadership around their faith, and create spaces to nurture their faith and that of others.

On June 1st 2023 Patricia Higgins, a founding member of ACI, introduced the idea of ‘rewilding church’ to our ACI series of Zoom talks relating to the crucial issue of faith formation. Encouraged by the response, ACI has accepted Patricia’s invitation to support her Zoom-based workshop on ‘rewilding faith’, via her own website.

The workshop will draw on Active Hope process. Developed by US eco-philosopher Joanna Macy, and Scottish Mental Health Specialist, Dr Chris Johnstone, this reflective group process is intended to support people becoming active participants in bringing about what they hope for.

Chris McDonnell thinks about one thing that has been missed in recent weeks – “the exchange of touch between each other in recent weeks for without words our hands speak of our emotions, our cares and our suffering.”
“It is with our hands that we take and give, share and consume. What could be more practical than we receive the gift of the Christ in the same manner?”
