The Diocesan Invited Mission

by Louise Sharp

The Diocesan Mission which began this Lent was initiated by Bishop Richard and developed by the Diocesan Formation Team.

The weekly videos explore God’s invitation to enter into a relationship with Him and what it means for our lives. These videos comprise an exploration of the theme for the week and a personal testimony and have been uplifting, challenging and informative.

There has been an opportunity to take part in small group discussions with others from all over the Diocese on a Thursday evening through Lent, via ‘Zoom’. What a wonderful experience to see so many people engaged in discussing their faith, meeting people from the far corners of the diocese and taking time to explore the themes raised in the videos.

Invited will run over the coming years at different times of year: Eastertide 2022, Advent 2023, Lent 2024 and Eastertide 2025 culminating in the celebration of 60 years of the Diocese.

The videos for Lent remain available to watch at any time on the diocesan website at: Invited (https://www.abdiocese.org.uk/invited) and there is more information about the Mission on there too.

If you haven’t watched them yet, give it a try.
