Programme overview:

We will gather on Thursday evening from 15:30 onwards for a time of worship and getting to know each other.

The preconference day on Friday starts at 915 with teaching and active workshops and a delicious lunch, finishing at 17:00.

The theme is Away from home: Journeying Together. As Christians we are all ‘resident aliens’ – not of this land, but heavenward bound. How can we live in the light of this, and learn from colleagues who have relocated to work in our NHS?
