26 oct conference registration

Selection of quotations from talk given by Stephen Hoyland, Ignatian Outreach Wroker, based on Shelley Weddell's book, Forming Intentional Disciples.

John's inspirational talk revealed some surprising - and alarming - features of the church today, explaining how a relationship with God is not a significant feature of their faith for many Catholics. If we are to reverse the decline in numbers and influence which is a mark of thechurch in the western world,  this relationship must be rekindled if any reforms or pastoral programmes are to succeed.
