We shall escape from everyday life to walk the Derbyshire dales. Our base will be a hotel overlooking the Derwent Valley. As we walk for relaxation and enlightenment we shall think of some for whom walking is the only way to escape war, violence, repression and ethnic cleansing.

In this week, we will consider how the concept of priesthood developed from Jewish and pagan roots, and how it might be re-interpreted in the future. We hope to celebrate our common priesthood in our liturgy, and experience blessing and holiness together.

The Eucharist is the 'source and summit' of our faith. Engaging our heads, hearts and hands, and hearing from speakers and Church teaching, together we will spend the week exploring what it means to live eucharistically.

As parents, we too have great power and, consequently, great responsibility for our children’s future. We invite you to join us in sharing your own parenting experiences, successes and challenges. No one has all the answers but through talking, praying, singing and creating together we might just find some solutions.

This is CPW’s first non-residential Autumn Lecture. We hope that this new annual lecture will further enrich our educational offer to existing members, whilst also extending our appeal to new audiences. Our first Autumn Lecture will be delivered by Mike Kane, Shadow Minister for Education and MP for Wythenshawe and Sale East.

Scripture is peppered with references to stones. Their permanence, when all else has fallen away, allows a story to be told which would otherwise be lost. This Reunion Weekend is open to all members. Conversation, conviviality and community mingle with prayer and liturgy in true CPW style for the whole weekend.
