Advent Course: Sleepers Wake

Every Thursday at for 1 hour
Chelmsford Cathedral
Duke Street Chelmsford Chelmsford, CM1 1TY, United Kingdom
This year Chelmsford Cathedral is offering a powerful Advent course inviting participants to reflect deeply on the urgency of the climate crisis.

Led by Revd Canon Kate Moore, the course is based on Sleepers Wake: Getting Serious About Climate Change, the Archbishop of York’s 2022 Advent book authored by Nicholas Holtam.

Advent is traditionally a time of preparation, expectation and waiting but as Archbishop Stephen Cottrell warns, “with regard to the climate crisis, we can wait no more.” The course will be a blend of meditation, prayer, and practical action, guiding attendees to engage with the pressing need for environmental change. Through a mixture of poetry, music, visual art and personal reflections, participants are encouraged to explore their own role in fostering a flourishing future for all creation.

The course will run every Thursday evening from 7.15 pm to 8.15 pm from 21st November to 19th December in the Cathedral.
