Course in ‘Paying Attention to God’

Friday May 20th 2016

A foundation course in Christian listening called ‘Paying Attention to God: A Way of Listening’ is being offered by the Rev Alan Lorimer and Mrs Breige O’Hare, in conjunction with Edgehill Theological

This is an interdenominational programme, designed to support ordained and lay people for whom listening is an important part of their work/ministry. It aims to deepen and enrich their listening and nourish their sense of God’s presence and leading in their own lives.

The year is also a prerequisite for those wishing to go on to the ‘Steps in Spiritual Direction’ programme, a two year programme which was very successful and finished in Edgehill a few weeks ago.

The course begins in September 2016. For further details and application pack, please click here.
