Living Faith (The Bishop's Certificate Course) is a one year programme for people who would like to deepen their understanding of Christian teaching, and reflect on what it means to have living faith. The Course follows the seasons of the Christian calendar and invites reflections on the major festivals of the faith. Through the events of the Christian year, different themes are explored through studying passages from the Bible, from Christian teaching and from the contemporary world. The course can be used in parish or deanery groups, or in small groups.

The diocese does not organise these groups, we only supply the resources.

Please register your group before you begin the course by emailing. In order to be eligible for a certificate at the end of the course you will also need to fill in a group information form at the end of each module.
