Surprised by Hope What do Christians hope for? To
leave this wicked world and go to
‘heaven’? For the ‘kingdom of God’ to
grow gradually on earth? What do we
mean by the ‘resurrection of the
body’, and how does that fit with the
popular image of sitting on clouds
playing harps? And how does all this
affect the way we live in the here and
now?
We’ll be looking at all these questions
and more over the coming weeks. I
encourage you to come and join us
during this Lenten period as we once
again unpack the eternal Christian
hope. Our guide and helper (in
addition to the Holy Spirit of course!)
will be Tom Wright (Bishop of
Durham), we will be exploring his
latest book Surprised by Hope which
is, and I quote, “Lively and accessible,
this book will surprise and excite all
who are interested in the meaning of
life not only after death but before it”
If you would like to purchase a copy
of Surprised by Hope then it can
be ordered from Amazon or any
good book store.
If you would prefer our Church
Office to order you a copy then
please contact Anne in the Office
and for a £10 payment she will
obtain a copy on your behalf.
