In 2022, the focus of our Archdeaconry Days will be on the many and varied ways in which God calls us during our lives. We will be hearing stories of calling from people across the diocese and reflecting on how we hear God’s call in our own lives.
As part of the Archdeaconry Days a series of podcasts have been devised, and produced, by Millie and Sam, two young adults from the Diocese. In The Calling Podcast Millie and Sam are joined by a series of guests as they explore the theme of calling and discuss the journey God is taking them on.
