The CPW Experience

Pen 2016 In discussion (9).JPG

Learning

The educational programme at each CPW event is built around a particular theme. The theme could explore a piece of scripture, Catholic Social Teaching, or another aspect of our Christian life. The theme is well researched by the chair and the speakers are chosen to complement the theme. On all-age weeks a parallel programme is designed for the young people. Education is at the heart of CPW’s ethos and our commitment to learning encourages us to challenge our knowledge and opinions, and embrace new ideas.

On this page we have included links to download a past adult programme, speaker list and research document. These examples offer an insight into the research and planning that goes into the learning aspect of a CPW event.

CPW discussion on the Synodal process and how it can help us discern CPW’s future [ONLINE]

As members will know the church has just finished the first gathering in Rome of the Synodal process. At our BGM we thought it valuable to reflect on what is happening in the church and the implications for CPW.

During this week we will be inviting each other to go on a dig to unearth and share treasures of scripture, stories, perennial wisdom, film, music, art and life experiences which have impacted, transformed, affected or even just slightly shifted the lens so as to influence and modify how we see.

Growing old often brings with it challenges of failing health, memory and mobility. But it can also bring many blessings – wisdom, patience, freedom and time.
