A NEW book group is starting for those who are interested in the idea of ‘Spiritual but not Religious’, run by Reverend Alan Crawley, joint rector in the Parish of Badshot Lea and Hale.

Alan said: “My wife, Lesley, and I recently found a list of 26 books every ’Spiritual but not Religious’ seeker should read. We were intrigued and fancied reading some of the books for ourselves, and wondered if any others would like to join us in a book club, reading one every now and again and meeting to discuss it.

“To find out, we are going to read ‘Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead’ by Brené Brown, and open our house to anyone who wants to come along and discuss it. If there is interest we can choose another book and another date at that time.”

“Everyone is welcome to just come along on the day, or if they are interested and can’t make it, just let us know and we will keep them informed of what is happening.”

It will start on November 12 at the Rectory, 25 Upper Hale Road, those interested can contact Alan on 01252 820537 or [email protected]
