The Power of Generosity

At its heart, generosity is not just about giving—it’s about living in grateful response to all that God has given us. Members of the Christ Church Vestry lead a conversation about generosity as a spiritual practice: a way of aligning our lives with God’s abundance and sustaining the life of the Church we love. Especially in challenging times, generosity becomes an act of perseverance—a way of holding fast to hope, community, and God’s call to love.

Listening for the Heartbeat of God

A leading voice in the revival of Celtic spirituality, Newell invites us to listen for the sacred rhythm that pulses at the heart of all things. In a world marked by fragmentation and fatigue, his teaching calls us to a deeper harmony—one that sustains the soul and strengthens our capacity to persevere in love.
