Sherborne Abbey Teaching Sessions

A new development this term, these two teaching sessions have grown out of the extremely popular evening the Vicar held in August on ‘Anglican concerns'. Many people voiced an appetite for more occasions of this kind, with ample opportunity for questions and comments from the floor. So the Vicar has reserved the Church Hall for two more such evenings: Tuesday 14 October and Tuesday 18 November , both at 7.30pm .  His aim will not be to go over the same ground every time, but to widen our understanding of how matters theological, doctrinal and ethical need to be tackled. On 14 October he will begin by exploring how as individuals we perceive theological and ethical issues and handle them, and move on to look at how both Church and society perceive and handle them. In particular, are differences of historical period or geography or culture legitimate factors in the perception and handling of issues, or distractions from the pursuit of absolute truths and immutable principles?

There will be no charge for either of these sessions – just turn up – but there will be a retiring collection at each to cover the cost of handouts and other materials.
