Resource Pack sent to parishes

Earlier in the year, PEN sent a CD-ROM of resources to every Anglican parish in its four sponsoring dioceses - with generous finanical support from the Allchurches Trust.  The pack includes Living with Other Faiths, a resource written by the Revd Jonathan Evens, to enable local Christians to engage with the theological and practical issues involved in faithful, effective witness in a multi faith society.

Launch event with Archbishop Rowan

The Archbishop of Canterbury preached and presided at an inaugural Eucharist for PEN on June 1st 2009. This brought together those ministering in multi faith contexts with those who train and equip them, in the Church of England dioceses covering Greater London. The launch event included Bishops from each of the participating dioceses, and was part of a day of reflection, prayer and celebration on the witness of Christian congregations in multi faith contexts. Materials from the day are online.
