Everyone welcome - particularly lay people as well as Readers and Clergy.

The seminar will make connections between the gospel of St Luke and our experience in the here and now. There will be particular focus on St Luke's interest in wealth, poverty and prayer.

Focussing on the Gospel which we will hear in our Sunday worship from Advent Sunday onwards, we will be wrestling with key contemporary questions:  what does St Luke say about wealth and poverty? What are we to make of that in the current economic climate? What relationship might there be between Luke's insights and the way we all ‘do' economics both corporately and individually?

Such questions will lie at the heart of the first of the day's sessions: a lively studio-style discussion between Bishop James (at Gaywood) or Bishop Graham (at Norwich) and Richard Murphy, an internationally renowned tax specialist whose passion for social justice in this area is informed by his Christian faith.

After coffee, several Church Mission Society (CMS) mission partners will develop the theme and, at Gaywood, they will be joined by Stephen Bevans, author of Models of Contextual Theology and CMS theologian-in-residence 2009.  Together, they will look at Luke from the perspective of their experience across many continents and challenge us to do the same where we are.

After lunch, there will be a choice of creative workshops. In one, the Youth Task Force will offer a range of inter-active prayer stations based on phrases of The Lord's Prayer - a resource devised with young adults in mind but adaptable for all. In the other, The Revd Corin Child, author of the recently published Telling Ourselves in Ink,  will invite us, through creative writing, to explore our response to all we've pondered during the morning.
