Encountering God
In the last of our Encounter Series Revd Dr Sam Wells, Vicar of St Martin’s asks the Most Revd Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, about how he has encountered God, in his own life. His work before he was ordained, his call first to priesthood and then to become Bishop of Durham and then Archbishop of Canterbury.
How has God shaped and guided his life and how has he found God present both in times of achievement, joy and thanksgiving but also through his times of struggle and tragedy. This promises to provide an inspirational insight both into the Archbishop of Canterbury’s own faith journey but also the way we encounter God in the story of our own lives.
