SUMMARY:A day of celebration marking the reopening of St Peter’s Church\, Forncett
DESCRIPTION:St Peter’s Church\, Forncett is recognised by many as one of the finest round tower churches in the country. Over 1000 years old\, it has many exceptional features\, including a 15th-century alabaster tomb\, intricately carved pew ends\, a rare ancient wooden staircase and a memorial connected to the Wordsworth family. \nIn 2019 this Grade 1 listed building was put on the Heritage at Risk Register and the Friends of St Peter’s was formed to raise the money necessary to carry out structural repairs and to secure its future for the next 1000 years. In all\, £741\,918 was given by the National Lottery Heritage Fund\, £22\,500 from Partnership Funders\, £18\,000 from Historic England and over £50\,000 was raised by the local people of Forncett. \nThe Project \nAdded to the Heritage at Risk Register in 2019 due to deteriorating roofs and masonry and inadequate drainage\, the church had a major restoration between November 2024 and March 2026. Works included complete re-slating of the nave and chancel roofs\, extensive masonry and flintwork repairs\, replacement of the south aisle roof covering and installation of new drainage systems. \nAs part of the project\, a new film\, ‘A Rook over Forncett’ has been created which will premiere at the celebration on 25 October. The film celebrates the rich history of the Forncetts and looks to a bright future for the village. \nAnother aspect of the project is the three Heritage and Nature Trails that have been created. These will allow residents and visitors to explore the rich history and nature of the Forncetts. \nThere have also been a series of activities linked to the project involving local residents and schoolchildren.

SUMMARY:God\, Time and Stephen Hawking – a talk by The Revd Professor David Wilkinson\, FRAS
DESCRIPTION:In the week that Norwich Cathedral hosts the spectacular sound and light experience Time by Luxmuralis\, join us for a free thought-provoking talk that bridges cutting-edge cosmology with deep philosophical faith. \nIn his landmark book A Brief History of Time\, Professor Stephen Hawking famously suggested that discovering a complete theory of physics would allow us to “know the mind of God”. Yet\, his later work challenged traditional religious frameworks\, arguing that because time began with the Big Bang\, a Creator simply had no time to exist beforehand. \nIn this accessible one-hour talk\, The Revd Professor David Wilkinson\, FRAS breaks down these mind-bending concepts. Armed with the rare perspective of dual doctorates in theoretical astrophysics and systematic theology\, Prof Wilkinson moves beyond the tired “science versus religion” conflict. He will explore how Hawking’s insights into quantum gravity and the multiverse actually open up a much richer\, deeper conversation about the nature of space\, time\, and existence. \nThis talk requires no prior background in science or philosophy. It offers an accessible\, thought-provoking opportunity for the curious\, the scientific\, and the spiritual alike. \nThis talk is free to attend but tickets should be booked in advance.

SUMMARY:The Norwich Shared Vocations space 2026/27: Onwards and Outwards!

Time in small groups will give you space for sharing thoughts and experiences\, and by the end of the course you will be well prepared to take the next steps\, either to a formal selection process for licensed lay or ordained ministry\, or to consider what part God might be stirring you to play in the life of the Church and in sharing the good news of Jesus in our world today. \nRegister your interest via email to lucy.dallas@dioceseofnorwich.org

SUMMARY:"Awake and Hearken" - A Retreat in Preparation for Advent
DESCRIPTION:A Retreat in Preparation for Advent\nAdvent is a season that demands our attention\, calling to us in imperatives: watch\, wait\, prepare\, listen! The old words “hark” and “hearken” found in our Advent hymns refer to a particular quality of listening that watches and waits intently for the Advent voice to sound\, that attends closely to it\, that seeks transformation through what is heard. \nJoin us live or in your own time to explore the various ways the Advent voice calls to us through scripture\, classic spiritual teaching\, poetry and our own experience. Our speakers are: \nPaula Gooder\, scripture scholar and author of more than twenty-five books\, including the forthcoming The Gospel of Mark in her Biblical Explorations series \nRebecca Stephens\, Chair of the Meister Eckhart Society and author of the forthcoming Grounding the Soul  \nAlison Jack\, Professor of Bible and Literature at the University of Edinburgh\, and lead editor of Scottish Religious Poetry \nRichard Carter\, founder of the Nazareth Community at St Martin-in-the-Fields and author of 100 Reasons for Living \nWith worship from St Martin-in-the-Fields led by Catherine Duce. \nBook your ticket here \n

SUMMARY:The Norwich Shared Vocations space 2026/27: Onwards and Outwards!
DESCRIPTION:This six-session course\, over six months\, invites you to learn about the ways in which you might be called to go ‘onwards and outwards’ in sharing your Christian faith as a Licensed Lay Minister (sometimes known as Reader)\, ordained minister\, chaplain\, pioneer evangelist\, Authorised Worship Assistant (AWA) or Authorised Pastoral Assistant (APA). \nTogether we will hear stories of how people have heard and responded to the call of God\, go deeper into what the Bible teaches about Christian ministry and explore some of the big questions\, joys and challenges of ministry today. Time in small groups will give you space for sharing thoughts and experiences\, and by the end of the course you will be well prepared to take the next steps\, either to a formal selection process for licensed lay or ordained ministry\, or to consider what part God might be stirring you to play in the life of the Church and in sharing the good news of Jesus in our world today. \nRegister your interest via email to lucy.dallas@dioceseofnorwich.org
