'Conversation at 10' - join us online

“What do you think about . . . .?”
 

Hello everyone and welcome to our Wednesday half hour gathering.

This morning: “What do you think about . . . . Faith?”

Last week our discussion about what Faith means to us proved challenging. It was clear that there was more to say about this subject - so draw up a chair, settle with a 'cuppa' and a biscuit, and let's go further along this road.

The word 'faith' comes from the Latin fides. We sing Adeste Fideles at Christmas - 'O Come all ye faithful'. We may associate words like Trust and Confidence when we talk about faith. When it's in a religious context we often use the word Belief - and just to be clear, this is about the Christian faith in God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

So some questions to ponder and perhaps to chat through:

• What does the word Faith mean to you?
• On a scale of 0 (no Faith) to 10 (absolute Faith) where would you put your 'Faith'?
• Why is it that number?
• What would make that change - up or down?

So - come and share your thoughts and counsel over a cup of tea/coffee and a biscuit.

Everyone is welcome!
