Welcome

You’re here because …

You want to …

… bring your faith to bear – thoughtfully – on the issues that concern you.

You’re curious to …

… find out how your Christian faith can deepen your spiritual life.

You want to …

… follow Jesus more closely as a disciple – and that means engaging with the Bible, with theology, with others.

Engaging Theology in Cumbria is a new venture with roots that go back in a long tradition of thinking seriously about our faith and what it means to follow Jesus in today’s world – in today’s Cumbria.

Together – as Methodists, as United Reformed, as Catholics, as Anglicans – as Christians together – who love God.

We invite you to …

… join us at the events that we host or advertise around the county.

… use the resources that will inspire and provoke you to think more deeply.

… read the blog and respond.

… engage in Theology in Cumbria.

A prayer of St Benedict to inspire us on the way of discipleship

.

Gracious and Holy Father, please give me:
intellect to understand you,
reason to discern you, diligence to seek you,
wisdom to find you, a spirit to know you,
a heart to meditate upon you,
ears to hear you, eyes to see you,
a tongue to proclaim you,
a way of life pleasing to you,
patience to wait for you and perseverance to look for you.
Grant me a perfect end, your holy presence,
a blessed resurrection and life everlasting.
Amen.
