What is it?
A Living Library is a space where Readers engage with the stories of the Books.
A place to ask the ‘silly questions’ which you don’t want to ask people you know locally
A place to challenge stereotypes about who is ‘suitable’ for a particular ministry
Who is this event aimed at?
- Ministers and other church leaders who want to enable intentional conversations about vocations in your Circuit - come along and experience the event to see if this is something you might host locally
- People who wonder if one of these ministries is for them
- People already in one of these ministries and feeling a little jaded or lacking in confidence, to talk with others from other contexts.
