Let the Bible do the Work!
For the King James 400 and Biblefresh year, this is about how to have a good Bible study group using basic facilitation skills. You will get a chance to be part of a group using two different approaches in two real Bible studies. You will discuss with the facilitator what went well/less well and you can expect to learn new group handling and question framing skills.
Workshops take place over two evenings or on a Saturday morning and are designed by Canon Sheila Bamber (St Nicholas Cathedral Newcastle), John Sadler (Mission Initiative North East, Byker) and Peter Middlemiss, a Reader from Berwick-upon-Tweed (previously Warden of Holland House Retreat Centre, Diocese of Worcester).
