Way
Ahead is a Diocesan resource for the Christian journey,
designed for adult groups. It is a flexible one-year programme
which can be shaped to local circumstances and needs.
Way
Ahead aims to build confidence, deepen faith, widen experience
and strengthen people for Christian service and discipleship.
It is a valuable experience in itself and need not lead
to further study or training.
