Battles and Blessings: Lent Conversations on Church Renewal
Join ReSource Director Christopher Landau for a series of live online conversations about the challenges and opportunities facing the church in our day, as we journey through the season of Lent.
Feel free to bring your lunch as we gather on Zoom at 1pm each Wednesday. The session begins with conversation between Christopher and his guest, followed by plenty of time for open questions and discussion, and ending (by 2pm) with a time of shared prayer.
The Conversations will also be available afterwards on the Resourcing Renewal Youtube page.
19th March: Pastor John Funnell, author of What God can do with a little oil: Church Growth in a Desperate Situation
Pastor John arrived in Abersychan, in the Welsh valleys, in 2014. On a street which once had seven churches, most (including the Anglican church) had closed; the congregation at Nodffa Church had dwindled and its own closure was imminent. But God had other plans… and the church has, over the last decade, been transformed into a thriving community. John will share with us a story of sacrifice, prayer, and ultimately revival.
26th March: Bishop Emma Ineson, Bishop of Kensington.
Bishop Emma was ordained in 2000, and In December 2022 was announced as the Bishop of Kensington. Bishop Emma is an academic, specialising in practical theology. She is the author of Failure: What Jesus Said About Sin, Mistakes and Messing Stuff Up. She recently wrote an article for Premier titled ‘I’m praying for revival. Will you join me?’.

Bishop John Inge has recently retired after seventeen years as Bishop of Worcester. Over those years he was a member of the Faith and Order Commission, chair of the College of Evangelists, and lead bishop on cathedrals and church buildings. He is the author of A Christian Theology of Place. In a recent social media post, he noted that the Church of England is engaged in an intense spiritual battle – a comment which prompted the invitation to join this series of conversations.
