Growing Faith Table Talk Mini

This new Table Talk Mini with 21 Question Cards has been produced in partnership with the Growing Faith Foundation from the National Education Society of the Church of England & Wales. Growing Faith is the movement that exists to put children, young people and families instinctively at the heart of all the mission and ministry of the Church by changing the culture of the Church of England.

It is a conversation starter to help you think about changes needed in your community so children have the best chance of flourishing. It’s based on the well-researched principles of the Growing Faith movement, that connects school, church and households with children at the centre.

Growing Faith looks different everywhere, so these cards provide a framework for a conversation around three themes (Shared Vision, Shared Voice and Shared Faith Development) with those looking for change in your neighbourhood.

Invite stakeholders from across church, school and households. How about children and young people too? Make a hospitable and fun space. Explain what you’re trying to explore and how long it will last. Take it in turns to turn over a card, read out the question on it and see what conversation it starts off. Make a note of insights, dreams, vision and actions. You won’t work through all the cards in one session – ask if the group would enjoy meeting again to talk through some more.
