PASTORAL CARE AND THE PLAYFULNESS OF GOD
Rt Revd John Pritchard
Bishop of Oxford


Cheese and Biscuits at 6.30pm
Brief AGM of OCIC at 7pm
Bishop John's presentation beginning at 7.30pm.

Pastoral care and counselling is a serious business but it needn’t be solemn. Indeed, if it is informed by an image of a faithful God, there can  be rich material to resource pastoral interactions. Bishop John will explore some of the material in the context of his deep appreciation of the work of counsellors and pastoral carers in helping people into freedom. 


There will be opportunity for interaction and discussion
