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!

Reflecting on his life’s experiences Brian Fahy reminds us how so many people who were strong and experienced in so many theatres of life were reduced to silence simply by the fact that the Church loomed too large in its authority.
“Let us encourage one another to speak and say how we feel and not allow the often, unconscious forces of power to suppress or stifle the truth that needs to be said and heard.”
