Wholehearted Monthly
Our Speaker: Revd Charissa Suli
We are honoured to welcome Revd Charissa Suli, President of the Uniting Church in Australia. She is the youngest person, the first person of non-Anglo-Celtic background, and the first of Pacifica heritage to hold this esteemed position.
Charissa will share her presidential theme, “Threads of Love: Weaving Christ’s Love Across Cultures and Boundaries.”
She will explore what this means for us as a global family of churches:- the power and hope of worldwide church relationships in a fragmented world, and
- how our churches, shaped by migration and movement, are already globally diverse and multicultural spaces
- how our churches are strengthened as their many strands are woven together
A Story from the Encounter Together Programme
We will also hear a testimony from Liddy Buswell, reflecting on her experience of last year’s Young Adult Pilgrimage of Peace to Korea, and what it meant for her faith.
Global Relationships Breakout Room - Welcomed & Witnessing: Voices from the Iranian Fellowship
End the evening in our Global Relationships breakout room. We are delighted to be able to share this evening with two members of the Iranian Fellowship here in the Methodist Church in Britain who have journeyed from their homeland and found a home within the Methodist Church currently in the New River Circuit in London. Hossein and Farhad will share with us part of that journey in conversation with Nigel Cowgill our Global Communities Officer for the Methodist Church. You are invited to come and hear some of the challenges and the life changing story of Hossein and Farhad and how they live out their faith in a new place and how the Methodist Church has offered the gift of hospitality to them.
