In this series, we’ll be exploring what Jesus does for us (atonement) and how the church has shared this (mission).

In this eighth session, we’ll summarise Vincent Donovan’s Christianity Rediscovered.

We'll structure our time as follows:
• For the first 15 minutes we'll catch up, then pray for one another's work. (There's no obligation to pray out loud.)
• For the next 60 minutes, we will discuss and reflect.
• We sometimes close with a time of lectio divina: https://www.anglicancommunion.org/media/253799/1-What-is-Lectio-Divina.pdf.
