What is Life in the Spirit?
The Southwark Catholic Charismatic Renewal Team, the Agency for Evangelisation and Catechesis, the Cathedral parish at St George's Cathedral are delighted to offer this opportunity for personal, parish and diocesan renewal.
The Life in the Spirit Seminars provide an opportunity to find out more about a life lived in the power of the Holy Spirit and to take the first steps into a new relationship with Our Lord.
-
Five Tuesday[1] evening sessions: either in person (at St George's Cathedral or one of the "Hub" locations around the Archdiocese) or online, with a variety of speakers covering a range of topics
-
In-person Retreat Day: at St George’s Cathedral on Pentecost Saturday, 18 May, joining with participants from around the diocese
-
Scripture-based reflections: each day throughout the course.
Life in the Spirit Seminars include the opportunity for attendees to receive the “Baptism in the Spirit”, a fuller release of the Holy Spirit within each person.
Life in the Spirit Seminars have grown out of out the Catholic Charismatic Renewal. Since 2019, Pope Francis has been asking CHARIS International - the Catholic Church body which serves the worldwide Catholic Charismatic Renewal - to make the Baptism in the Spirit available around the world, to everyone in the Church.
