Holiness and Risk

See pictures from the holiness and risk event

The Methodist Church started life as a movement which sought to inject passion, direction and purpose into the spiritual lives of those in the established Church.

Led by General Secretary Martyn Atkins, holiness and risk was a three day event form 6-8 February 2009, aimed at enabling those in positions of change leadership to explore this heritage and think deeply about what it means to be Methodist, and what it means to express the charisms of the tradition in the 21st century.

The conference proved to be a pivotal event for change leaders in the Methodist Church. It offered a unique opportunity to consider what the charisms of the Church are and how these relate to our mission as a Church in the current age. The weekend was not about policy making but offered the opportunity to focus, enthuse and give confidence to speak of our capacity and gifts as a Church.

Those attending had the opportunity to listen to keynote speakers, attend thought-provoking workshops and take time out for reflection, group conversation, prayer and worship.
