                                      In the year of CPW’s 75th Anniversary we will use stories of inspirational people who
                                      have been part of CPW’s history to find ways to respond to challenges today.

                                      The speaker for the Dora Turbin Lecture on Saturday 15th will be David McLoughlin,

                                      research he explores the relationship between theology and everyday life. On the
                                      challenge of prophetic imagination in 2020, David says “in every age we need men
                                      and women who open up for us the prophetic imagination of a Moses at the burning

                                           “Everyone has a prophetic task, the potential to burn with the same fire [of Pentecost]
                                           and light up every corner of the earth.” (Judith Lang, They Looked at God, New City,
                                           London, 2005).

                                           What does it mean to have a prophetic task, and who were, and are, our prophets?

                                           Ezekiel...Christ...Romero...who now? What effect might it have if we really listen to the

                                           message and do we have to suffer as all the prophets suffered?

                                           with your God.” Micah 6:8

                                           What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly
                                           with your God (Micah 6:8). During this week we will be considering the implications
                                           of Micah’s prophetic call, looking at Biblical and some modern prophets who walked
                                           or marched as witness to their calling.

                                           We will be walking each day and exploring some of the countryside around
                                           Penmaenmawr and nearby Snowdonia National Park. The week will be fully catered,
                                           with a picnic lunch each day. You should come prepared to walk up to 10 miles each
                                           day.

MADE, LET US
REJOICE AND BE

CPW BROCHURE / 2020

CPW has so much to be thankful for that we want to celebrate all
we are and all we might be thanks to God’s generosity.

Nowhere is this more clearly exhibited than in the wonders of
Creation which will be displayed for us in the natural surroundings
of the house and grounds of the St Cassian’s Centre at Kintbury.

As part of our celebrations we will remember our responsibilities
to the Earth (referred to as ‘our common home’ by Pope Francis)
and to the generations for whom we hold it in trust. Are we
respectful and appreciative of our beautiful home? Could we do
more to protect it? What are the challenges that lie ahead?

The day will provide food for thought as well as ‘soul food’
for people of all ages and abilities. Our keynote speaker will
encourage us to see the world in a new light - God’s light - which
we hope will shine through all our praying, singing, dancing,
talking and just being together.

If you’re ever been to a CPW (even once!), or you come every
year, or you’ve thought you might come but haven’t got round to
it, or you’ve just heard about us and you’d like to know more - this
day is for you. Come and join us and help us celebrate 75 years
of faith seeking understanding.

                                         Diarmuid’s concerns regarding climate change have been an important influence on

                                      Prophetic Voices in the Call to Reform

                                      St Cassian’s Centre, Kintbury

                                      The Church, says Pope Francis, “needs prophets.... it needs all of us to be prophets, not
                                      critics who don’t approve of anything, but one who opens wide the doors of hope”.

                                      Prophetic voices challenge us to ‘wake up’, to trust and keep faith, to be courageous
                                      in the proclamation of God’s word. But the many complex issues of our time – social,
                                      economic, cultural, political and personal - offer no easy answers or quick solutions.

                                      How is it possible for the Church to be the rock of Truth, and respond with an open and
                                      generous heart to the many challenges of the modern world? Whose are the prophetic
                                      voices who will truly wake us up and help the Church ‘revive what remains’?

                   Autumn Lecture 2020: A Dialogue
 20                Between Science & Faith
                   Monica Grady - Professor of Planetary & Space
                   20 Oct 2020 , 7pm | London | +11

                   Our 2020 Autumn Lecture will be given by Professor Monica Grady, Professor of
                   Planetary and Space Science at the Open University.

                   A practicing Catholic, Prof Grady will speak about the dialogue between Science and
                   Faith. In an interview with Kirsty Young for BBCRadio 4’s Desert Island Discs she said:
                   “My faith just permeates everything; it’s just there. But I’m not a creationist.”

                   It is sure to be an excellent and thought-provoking evening and we can’t wait to see
                   you there.

                   CPW’s annual autumn lecture is part of the organisation’s commitment to providing
                   good-quality educational opportunities to adult Christians to build a responsible,
                   informed Church.

                                       In today’s world, followers of one who welcomed the outsider, often pride themselves
                                       on how unprejudiced and welcoming they are. We aim to build bridges not walls. We
                                       celebrate diversity. We recognise that we are all the same underneath and find common
                                       ground and ways to work together. But how often do we truly try to understand others?

                                       To find out what someone else really believes, and why, requires true dialogue and
                                       deep listening.

                                       We will spend four days at the beautiful Aylesford Priory in Kent, challenging ourselves
                                       to listen properly and understand the differences between ourselves, other faiths and
Chair - Louise Cook                    other Christian traditions. And, perhaps the hardest of all, between ourselves and
                                       Catholics with different opinions.
