“A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth.” Joseph Poore, University of Oxford, UK
For the good of the planet and for the good of our bodies, many of us could do with cutting down the amount of meat we eat.
And giving up meat has been a traditional disciplne in the season of Lent.
It is an offering we can make, for the greater good, and so to the glory of God.
Last year in Lent we cut back on our use of plastics.

Still with God
Virtual Contemplative Prayer Group
Gathering together during the week can be really difficult.
Life just isn't that shape for most of us.
But this Lent we can once again enjoy the benefits of praying together even when we're not in the same place, with our Virtual Contemplative Prayer Group.
Contemplative prayer is mindfulness in prayer form: simple, wordless prayer that has been used by Christians down the centuries to practise the presence of God and develop spiritual attentiveness.
