TABLE
TALK - a meaningful conversation
Have you ever thought that it would be really good to have a meaningful
conversation with people about the things that really matter in life?
Have you ever thought that it would be really
good to be able to get together round a table to talk, laugh, be understood and get to know someone else's point of view?
TABLE TALK provides such an opportunity. It is
an informal discussion group where we can gather to discuss issues that really matter in life. If you have no faith at all,
or if you are a searching agnostic, or if you are a committed Christian, then TABLE TALK is for you, provided
you:
* are happy having
conversations
* can express your point of view in
a non-judgemental way
* are a friendly person!
We will meet at The Vicarage (Over) on a Thursday evening (starting 16th
September) at 7.30 p.m. for simple refreshments with the actual discussion from 8 - 9 p.m.
Our first
topic will be: How can I balance my life?
If you would like
to join us - or if you want further information - please get in touch: The Revd Malcolm Raby (01954 230329)

Depending on numbers we may also run a group in Longstanton
New documentary highlights evidence on reliability
of the Bible ‘The
Jesus Accounts - Fact or Fiction?' - a new documentary that will equip Christians to take on the sceptics over the
trustworthiness of the Bible - is being released this summer. By
throwing light on scholarly, scientific and historical evidence that supports the trustworthiness of the ancient manuscripts,
eyewitness accounts and more, the 30-minute documentary provides an invaluable tool that shows how the four canonical gospels
can be trusted. The Jesus Accounts has been praised by leading
clergy such as Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali, former Bishop of Rochester, and Mark Meynell, Senior Associate Minister of All Souls
Church, Langham Place in London. "It will prove a fantastic resource for serious enquirers and scholars alike, because
it carefully examines the historical evidence and draws on the expertise on renowned scholars. I hope it will be widely used."
Bishop Nazir-Ali says: "We have an unprecedented number
of manuscripts, whether papyrus or parchment, available to us. This means we can be confident that the text is in fact
the text written down by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John." At
a time when the reliability of scriptures is being challenged, it is hoped that the documentary will serve as a powerful tool
to churches, scholars, ministers and lay-people reaching out to their communities with the power of the gospel.

JORDAN

It really is a great country to
visit, and highlights (of which there are many) will include:
- Petra
- Wadi Rum
- Lot's Cave
- Baptismal site (where Jesus was probably baptised)
- Mount Nebo
(where Moses was told he would not enter the Promised Land)
