We are thrilled to be hosting a Complicite Theatre Screening of a rap theatre piece called 'Can I Live?' The piece explores the lack of black representation in the climate change movements (and other social justice movements). The screening will be followed by a live panel discussion with Fehinti Balogun (the actor and activist who developed and stars in the piece) alongside local artists, activists and theologians. This is a free event and you can book tickets here.

Enquiring Minds
Have you ever been in that situation where you don’t quite catch someone’s name the first time you meet them. Then on each subsequent meeting you have with them it becomes more and more awkward to ask? Sometimes it can be a bit like this with our faith. Maybe something in a sermon or piece of scripture prompts a question, but we feel awkward and don’t know who to ask about it. Maybe you lie awake worrying at night and contemplating big questions about life, the universe and everything. Perhaps you want to go deeper in to your understanding of faith.
If you have ever had questions about faith, but didn’t know who to ask, now is your opportunity. This Lent the Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury District will be holding a number of “Enquiring Minds” events where you are invited to come and ask questions about faith. As part of this we are holding an online event for all in the region. The panel will include Rachel Starr, Director of Studies at the Queen's Foundation for Ecumenical Theological Education in Birmingham. Along with our two District Chairs the Rev. Rachel Parkinson and Rev. Novette Headley.
You will need to book for the online event as places are limited. Go to Enquiring Minds Tickets, Wed 22 Mar 2023 at 19:30 | Eventbrite
For those able to come to the face to face events, the dates and venues are:
Sunday 12th March 3.30-5.00pm at Albrighton Methodist Church WV7 3JA and
Sunday 19th March 3.30-5.00pm at Kingswinford Methodist Church DY6 9NP
Why not explore your faith this Lent, with Enquiring Minds.
