Little did Christina Beardsley
think when she joined Michelle O’Brien in co-editing the
first Sibyls book, This is my body: hearing the theology of
transgender Christians’, that it would be Volume 1 of a
trilogy. But this is what’s happened! Volume 2 has now been
released. Volume 3, will be a very practical,
‘how to do it’ book for churches about making Christian
communities safe and welcoming for trans people and their
loved ones. It will be published by Jessica Kingsley.

10TH NOVEMBER 2018
MY PEACE I GIVE YOU
The sessions will be
facilitated by the Revd. Simon Buckley Rector, St Anne’s
Dean Street Soho London
Peace,
Shalom comes from the root verb shalam, meaning “to be
complete, perfect, and full.” Shalom is much more than the
absence of war and conflict; it is the wholeness that the
entire human race seeks. During the course of the day we
will reflect on this Peace, what it means for us, what it
means for others, and finding the peace which allows us to
be instruments of God’s Love
