Lament is often associated with Lent but it can also be off-putting with many unsure of how to “get it right”.
Canon Dr Cathy Ross, lecturer and tutor with CMS Pioneer Mission Training, will help us understand the theology and how it informs our practice.
She will share case studies of those who have found lament to be the catalyst for healing and something new.
By the end of this webinar, you will you know how to reflect on areas of your own life or in the world which cause you pain, how to present those to God and how to allow him to renew your hope.
