Prayer and Healing
As Christians, our lives are underpinned by prayer
Not everyone prays the same way. Prayer can involve words – but not necessarily. Prayer can be intercessory – praying on behalf of others; biddings – sort of like bullet points directing what we are to pray about; intention – giving a specific focus to the worship. Indeed, the style of praying is often dictated by our own inclination, psychology, or style more about prayer
Faith Journeys
Explore the journey's of faith from some of Bourne Abbey's congregation Our journey with God is unique to each person, a relationship that is built upon over many years. We do not always 'get it right' and sometimes our path moves away from God for a while, but we know that he is always with us.
I was brought up with faith, but not necessarily an organised religion.
My father had a strong faith and was a good teacher and role model. I joined guides and became a part of a church community but then drifted away in later teens through several distractions such as boys, music and the social side of school and college life plus a little study for exams. read more about Gill's Faith Journey
My journey to find God was full of turmoil.
It has been a gradual journey filled with a mixture of friends and family dying through to teenage life of parties. I kept my faith, though not going to church on a regular basis. The first time that I really felt part of the church community was after my confirmation at Bourne Abbey at the age of 48. read more about Christopher's Faith Journey
My relationship with God evolved by being a part of a family involved with "church".
I have not experienced what some may call a sudden or blinding revelation or thoughts. I have a simple faith and struggle with religion regularly, especially some of the doctrines and the literal "preachers" quoted from the Old Testament. read more about Allan's Faith Journey
