Questions Answered at St Mary Magdalene

St Mary Magdalene, Richmond recognised that they have people in their congregation who have joined at different life stages and have very different church or faith backgrounds. Some people have received Confirmation or First Communion preparation, but many have not. And many are coming from liturgical or Anglo-Catholic or Catholic backgrounds but lots are not.

So they decided to explore the Eucharist together. On 18th June, they took the opportunity to walk through the Choral Eucharist service and explained at each stage what it is they do each Sunday and why. In advance of the service, the congregation was ask to submit questions. There were questions on about liturgy, posture, bible readings and more and many of these were answered during the service.

Following the service, there were still unanswered questions and even more have been added. St Mary’s held another Q&A session over coffee a few weeks later and answered more questions about church life and faith.
