WEEK 5: Life – – Listening for resurrection
Hosted by Bishop Emma, with guest speaker Amy Boucher Pye
Amy Boucher Pye is a London-based author, speaker, retreat leader, and spiritual director. She’s the author of several books and writes for publications such as Our Daily Bread and New Daylight. She has an MA in Christian spirituality and appears monthly on Premier Christian Radio, sharing about prayer and leading a time of encounter with God.
This Lent, join us on a journey of discipleship shaped by listening. Through reflections, stories and communal practices, we will explore what it means to listen deeply to God, one another and the world around us.
Together, we will discover how attentive presence and honest conversation can nurture communities where faith grows, relationships deepen and we become more open to the movement of the Spirit.
This offering is a partnership between London Diocese and the London Centre for Spiritual Direction.
