Issue 37 - Summer journeys

Whether you’re enjoying a staycation at home this summer, or holidaying thousands of miles away, we are all on a journey, which is the theme of this issue of The Connexion.

Read about a group of UK Methodists who describe their journey of a lifetime in Travelling Differently: Ghana. The Revd Dr Inderjit Bhogal stays closer to home but explains what walking and journeying means to him in To Be A Pilgrim.

When we travel, we rely on the kindness of strangers. Read about how Methodist people are offering kindness and a listening ear to travelling people in different places in Grace Place in Newcastle, on the waterways and at Tilbury Docks.

But it is not just individuals who are on a journey, so too is our Church. Our Methodist Heritage describes four iconic Methodist places that root and continue to shape the Church, and activities such as running holiday clubs for children that have a long history. 

Finally, do you love music, art or the theatre? In Summer Creative Joy we have exhibitions and concerts to inspire you, as well as exciting developments such as the Methodist presence at music, sporting and literary festivals. 

Wherever this summer takes you, may this issue of The Connexion enrich and inspire you.
