What makes Catholic Evangelism distinctive?

How do we reach out to adults and children in Anglo-Catholic ways? 

On Thursday 3 September Bishop Julie and Very Revd Andrew Nunn will host a one-day gathering at Foxhill, with some inspiring speakers who have lots of experience of parish growth to share.

The Very Revd Andrew Nunn “In Christ, sacramentally – what makes Catholic evangelism distinctive?”

Until July 2023, Andrew Nunn was the Dean of Southwark. Having been ordained in Ripon Diocese in 1983 and serving in parishes in Leeds until 1995, Andrew then moved to the Diocese of Southwark where he was Bishop’s Chaplain before moving to the Cathedral in 1999 where he was firstly Sub Dean and Precentor before becoming dean in 2012.

Andrew has served the church in many capacities including 18 years as a member of General Synod. In retirement he is Chaplain to the Strategic Leadership Development Programme of the Church of England and continues to teach and lead retreats amongst other things. Andrew has also led pilgrimages for the last thirty years to the Holy Land but also to many other places.

Andrew has written a number of devotional books including one for Passiontide and Holy Week called ‘The Hour Is Come’ and another for Advent called ‘Bethlehem Bound’ both of which are published by Canterbury Press.
