HANDING ON THE TORCH 

Canon John Young has written the course booklet for Handing on the Torch – Sacred words for a secular world. Each of the 5 sessions offers a good selection of stimulating questions aimed at engaging every group member.

Course synopsis: Christianity is the largest movement our world has ever seen. It continues to grow at an immense pace – especially in Asia (including China), Africa and Latin America. At the same time, Christianity in the West struggles to grow and – perhaps – even to survive. In this course we consider some of the reasons for this and what it might mean for individual Christians, for churches and for Western culture, in a world where alternative beliefs are increasingly on offer.
