Video courses coming soon
Coming in the first week of October, three new video courses produced in and by the diocese. The ‘Let’s Talk About’ series will explore Marriage, Parenting and Loss and has been commissioned by Bishop David as a resource for parishes. All three courses are insightful, practical and share from a biblical perspective.
Marriage
Let’s Talk About Marriage is a three–part series and will help couples invest in their marriage relationship together. It is written and presented by Revd Jim Cheshire and his wife Diane who have been married for over 20 years and have two teenage children. Jim and Diane don’t claim to be experts, nor to have the perfect marriage, but they share valuable insights inspired by their own experiences and the wisdom of others who have written on the subject. The videos can be watched by a couple at home or in a group setting in conjunction with a local church. They come with a short study guide.
Parenting
Let’s Talk About Parenting is written and presented by Revd Adrian Green and his wife Linda. Adrian and Linda have been married for 33 years and have 5 children and 2 grandchildren. They have navigated through all the stages of raising a child to adulthood and also have experience of adoption and lone parenting. The course runs over two sessions with an additional bonus session covering more specific situations which might not apply to everyone. The videos can be watched at home or in a group setting in conjunction with a local church. The material is accompanied by downloadable worksheets. Some of the content is copyright of Positive Parenting Publications and is used under licence.
Loss
Let’s Talk About Loss is written and presented by Revd Karen Salmon who was herself bereaved suddenly after just five years of marriage. Over three sessions the course sensitively addresses: Loss, Death, and Growth; Bereavement and Recovery; Rituals, Untimely Deaths and Facing Death with Faith. It is only suitable for those who have experienced bereavement more than three months before and should only be run in a group setting with at least one facilitator. Let’s Talk About Loss is based on material from the Church Pastoral Aid Society who have kindly given permission for its use.
