"The move from priesthood to prophecy is the move from ritual to action. Faith will no longer be based upon the remembrance of what God has done in times gone by, but upon what God is doing by his grace in the present." - Simon Woodman

"Endurance is not formed overnight. It is cultivated, slowly, through practices that root us more deeply in God and more deeply in one another. It is formed when we tell the story again and again, refusing to let it be forgotten. When we read scripture not as a task to be completed, but as a space in which we are encountered and reshaped. When we pray, even when the words feel thin. When we gather, even when we feel tired. When we commit ourselves to one another, not just when it is easy, but when it is costly." - Revd Dr Simon Woodman
