Join us for a special day of reflection and discovery as we explore the findings from three years of research into the Alban Way program. Developed by the Diocese of St Albans, the Alban Way is a year-long journey of spiritual development for young people and young adults, designed to help them grow in resilience, fruitfulness, and prayer. We’re delighted to welcome Dr. Gemma Madle, who will present her report on the program’s work—examining how spiritual disciplines have shaped the experience of children in Year 6 as they transition to secondary school, as well as young adults aged 18–35 taking part in a non-residential year out exploring God's calling in their lives. This is a valuable opportunity to reflect on the journey so far, celebrate what’s been achieved, and look ahead to what’s next. Whether you work with children, support young adults in faith, or are exploring how spiritual formation can be nurtured across life stages, this event offers rich insights and fresh inspiration for your own context. Details: Join us from 9.30am for coffee and pastries, ready for a 10am start. Lunch will be served at 12.30pm before we say goodbye at 1pm.
