Bishop Jo, Laurie and Steph will be celebrating Pentecost (June 3rd and 4th) with a Leap of Faith on Saturday and 'Thy Kingdom Come' Festival of Pilgrimage and Prayer on Sunday. Both of these will be held at Guildford cathedral which is dedicated to the Holy Spirit, our helper!

As many will know, the financial future of Guildford Cathedral is plagued with uncertainty. Though this abseil we want to draw attention to the scale of the building and its fabulous tower - built to be a beacon of light and love - whilst raising money for its renovations to help secure its future, not only for the diocese of Guildford but for the blessings it can offer across the whole region.

Abseiling from the tower (249 spiral steps up, 160 gory feet down...) is a little bit like the leap of faith, at least at the start: taking a risk and placing our lives into the hands of the living God, except that God is far safer than any ropes and harness! Philip Johnson said, "Some people  like to say 'yes' and others like to say 'no'. Those who say 'yes' are rewarded by the adventure they find, while those who say 'no' are rewarded by the safety they attain." We're in the first camp!
