Following the success of several Cross-Currents film and spirituality weekends, several participants have got together to continue in 2010!

Films: we will watch about 5 films together and have a quiz on the Saturday afternoon. There will also be some time for relaxation! There is also the possibility of going to see a sixth firm after lunch on the Sunday at a local cinema (either the Odeon at Muswell Hill or the Phoenix Cinema at east Finchley). This will depend on what's showing at the time.

Rooms available (including all meals and drinks):

Christians across western culture are facing profound challenges and fresh opportunities. The long era of ‘Christendom’ is coming to an end. We now live in a plural society, with multiple religious options alongside the prevailing secular assumptions, in which Christianity has lost its position of dominance and privilege and churches are on the margins of society. Although we seem to be declining in numbers and influence, this context offers many new possibilities – if we have the courage and imagination to grasp them..
