“We spent 2024 visiting Deaneries across our Diocese to ask about current faith formation needs. Universally, people said they want to be more relaxed when talking about their faith…People asked for something to help them connect positively about spiritual things with people in the wider community without a Church background,” says Fiona Hammond from FormEDFaith, as she introduces exciting new resources ahead of the Hope25 season

“There seems to be an innate spirituality that has its origins in and expresses our essential humanity, which bubbles up when we get in touch with the source of our being.
