New Book from The Sibyls

A new book by Chris Dowd and Tina Beardsley "Transfaith: a transgender pastoral resource",  published by Darton Longman and Todd

This is Volume 2..... and it is available now.

 Little did Christina Beardsley think when she joined Michelle O’Brien in co-editing ‘the Sibyls’ book’, This is my body: hearing the theology of transgender Christians’, that it would be Volume 1 of a trilogy. But that’s what’s happened!  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.

SIBYLS REFLECTIVE DAY AT THE SISTERS OF ST ANDREW, LEWISHAM

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
