19.50 for 20.00, Tuesday 7th June.
WHAT IS R&B DIY? It’s a simple way of allowing ourselves to dream about – and practise – a new way of being Church. Or perhaps it’s an exceedingly old way.

The Acts of the Apostles tells us that “these remained faithful … to the breaking of bread and to the prayers… They went as a body to the Temple every day, but met in their houses for the breaking of bread; they shared their food gladly and generously; they praised God and were looked up to by everyone.” (Acts 2:42, 46 – 47).

Not only in the UK, we’re meeting in our twos and threes, growing as we go. We pray, we dwell on a reading or a short video from our growing R&B library, and we share food, thoughts and ideas. We dream, and we begin to live out our dreams with renewed confidence in each other, in the Word, and in God’s love.

Come and join us!

“If the priesthood has a better future, it has to be humanized; it has to find expression in better mutual support, collaboration and partnership. It has to free itself from the variant strains of clericalism such as sexism, paternalism, narcissism and superiority complex.”
“So long as we continue to make women invisible and inferior in the Church’s language, liturgy, theology and law, we impoverish ourselves as if we heard with only one ear, we saw with only one eye and we thought with only one half of the brain…”
