A great evening with the massed ranks of folks from Epping Forest Deanery for the latest episode of School for Disciples. My job is to raise the flag, and the expectations, for work with children and young people. It's brilliant to hear some truly inspiring stories and meet so many friends. Pictured is Stuart, who also attends the SFD sessions, he's manager of Pleshey Retreat Centre and he describes his work as "welcoming anybody, everybody, whoever, anytime anywhere, everywhere".

Today's extra, a view of St John's Epping, our host for this evening, and some of those attending.
