SUMMARY:Thy Kingdom Come 2025
DESCRIPTION:29 May – 8 June \nThy Kingdom Come (TKC) is a global ecumenical prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray from Ascension to Pentecost for more people to come to know Jesus. \nSince it began in May 2016\,  God has grown TKC from a dream of possibility into a movement which unites more than a million Christians in prayer\, in nearly 90% of countries worldwide\, across 85 different denominations and traditions- so that friends and family\, neighbours and colleagues might come to faith in Jesus Christ. Every person\, household and church are encouraged to pray during the 11 days in their own way. \nIt is our hope & prayer\, that those who have not yet heard the Good News of Jesus Christ and His love for the world\, will hear it for themselves and respond and follow Him. Specifically\, we again invite each and every Christian across the globe to pray that God’s Spirit might work in the lives of 5 people who have not responded with their ‘Yes’ to God’s call. Whether you have joined in ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ before or not\, we invite you to take part & join in. \nThy Kingdom Come | Thy Kingdom Come

SUMMARY:Revelations of Divine Love - a two-day reterat with Gail Adams and Ian Adams
DESCRIPTION:Living with faith\, hope and love in the company of Julian of Norwich. \nIn 1373 Julian of Norwich experienced a remarkable series of visions of Christ\, that she would later call Showings or Revelations of Divine Love.\nOver 650 years on we continue to find ourselves nourished\, moved and challenged by Julian’s prayerful reflections on her experience. We sense\nthat Julian is a gift for our times\, and invite you to join us as we explore excerpts from Revelations of Divine Love. \nThis two-day retreat will offer a spacious mix of teaching\, stillness and contemplative prayer\, with space and time to enjoy and pray in the\nJulian cell\, church and garden. Gail and Ian will be offering a simple and deepening practice of contemplative prayer through the retreat. They will\nbe sharing from their life experiences\, and Ian will be sharing from his poems and photographs.

SUMMARY:NCCL: Monuments in Norwich churches
DESCRIPTION:As is well known\, Norwich is blessed with many medieval churches\, a fine Norman cathedral\, and several other distinctive places of worship such as the Octagon Chapel in Colegate. On this course Professor Christopher Joby discusses some of the many monuments and gravestones housed in these churches and the funerary inscriptions incised on them. A striking feature of these monuments and inscriptions is their diversity. Some depict the deceased recumbent\, whilst others show them kneeling and in one case at least standing. The material from which they are made also varies. Professor Joby pays special attention to funerary inscriptions and explores questions such as who wrote them\, why they wrote them\, and why they are written in different languages. Some are in English or Latin\, whilst others are in both. Monuments to Dutch Strangers are in Dutch\, whilst the Suckling monument in St. Andrew’s has inscriptions in five languages. This promises to be a fascinating morning of discovery about Norwich’s rich collection of tomb monuments. \nLed by Professor Christopher Joby\, for Norwich Centre for Christian Learning (NCCL)
