The Tools of Good Works: The Rule of St Benedict and Lent

Every First, Second, Third, Fourth Thursday at for 45 mins
St Giles-on-the-Hill

This year's Lent course will look at the classic of western Christianity The Rule of St Benedict and specifically how Lent is viewed. Unlike most of the monastic literature of the time (6th Century) Benedict's Rule offered a common-sense approach to living the Christian life which took into account human weakness and struggle. The course will be looking at how we can apply the ancient wisdom of The Rule to our own Lenten journey.

The four sessions, scheduled to last about 45 minutes, will be offered on Zoom (link below) at 7:30 pm on the following Thursdays:

22 February
7, 14, 21 March

St Giles-on-the-Hill

Sitting proudly at the top of the street that bears its name, the church of St Giles, also known as the Wisteria Church, has the tallest church tower in Norwich with a height of 120 ft. The wisteria was planted by a former priest at the church in celebration of his daughter’s wedding just over 100 years ago and it still flourishes annually. These two features make the church one of the most iconic in Norwich.
