Bank Churches, London EC2
LENT FILM SERIES: Volver
Beginning Tuesday 12 February, 6.15pm
An exciting form of parish to parish partnership in the Gospel has been announced in the City of London this Lent. The Bank Churches Lent Initiative will involve the parishes of St Mary le Bow, St Mary Woolnoth, St Margaret Lothbury, St Anne and St Agnes, St Vedast-Alias-Foster and St Botolph without Bishopsgate. The clergy of these churches have come together to develop a cinematic pilgrimage for Lent. The format is simple: find a stunning and provocative movie and fragment its showing and discussing over a number of weeks in a number of adjacent church venues in the City. Make it relevant to Christianity and make it a pilgrimage for all involved.
