A cross in the heart of God – Lenten Studies 2024

Our Lenten Studies for 2024 will use Sam Wells’ Cross in the heart of God. An Anglican priest at St Martin’s-in-the-Fields in London, Wells is a prolific writer at both the popular and academic level, and a gifted communicator of the gospel.

The studies will be online (Zoom) from Wednesday Feb 21 (7.45pm) and Friday Feb 23 (1.30PM), for five weeks.

Participants should get their own copies of the book. Amazon will be the quickest, but it is also available at other places. We may not get quite through the book, and the study groups will decide at the end of Lent whether to continue to the end after Easter.

Please register your intention to join us below, so that you can receive the Zoom link for the discussions!
