Welcome to “Walking on Water”. We invite you to gather with others and embark on a seven session journey of faith sharing and justice seeking.
Daily, we are confronted with experiences which reveal the suffering in our world: violence, hunger, exclusion, exploitation. We may be shocked and concerned in the moment, how often do we really get the chance to share our experiences, deepen our analysis in light of our Christian faith, and together take action?
The Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace and the Diocese of London have created “Walking on Water” to provide this opportunity for self-directed small groups. Each session follows a Pastoral Circle process inspired by the work of Thomas Bright, John Roberto, Peter Henriot and Joseph Holland. After sharing and deepening the understanding of an unjust experience in our world, participants will reflect in light of the relevant scripture, teachings and witnesses of our rich Christian tradition, and act in response.
Jesus calls us to get out of the boat and walk on water. May this program nurture a community of believers who support each other to answer this call.
