Abundant Churches Event in Edinburgh
You are warmly invited to Abundant Churches – Creative, Missional and Sustainable, a day of discovery, creativity and renewal.
This ecumenical event, inspired by the Church of Scotland’s Creative Commercial Collective and the HeartEdge network, will explore how we can draw on the abundance already present in our churches and communities - our people, our buildings, our stories and our partnerships—to help build flourishing and sustainable church life.
The day will include:
· Insight from Rev Sian and Rev Andrew Yates on the HeartEdge 4Cs (Compassion, Commerce, Culture, Congregation)
· An introduction to the Creative Commercial Collective with Rev Scott Rennie
· A choice of workshops led by experienced practitioners from a variety of church contexts
· Shared stories, reflections, and opportunities for conversation
