Faith engagement event: GROUNDED café

‘re-imagining’… 

COVID-19 has swept through the world like a tsunami wave infecting people regardless of religion, class, or wealth. Faith communities in Northern Ireland have been counting the cost – and what is certain is that the old ways of doing things have broken down under the pressure of lockdowns, the closure of places of worship, the practice of social distancing and the wearing of face coverings in worship and prayer.

As restrictions ease new ways of doing things are beginning to break through, but many people in the faith sector aren’t optimistic that this watershed moment in global history, has truly created a context for re-imagining faith, and in particular, faith-based community work.

This online Grounded conversation will hopefully let more light in as we imagine faith and the future living with covid.

For this conversation Mark Houston, will talk about ‘re-imagining’ and what it might mean for faith-based community engagement.

Mark has recently taken up a new role in the Link Family and Community Centre in Newtownards, but he has a long history leading faith groups and managing community projects.
