ABC of DiscipleshipMEDDO (Congregational)Discipleship
The ABC of Discipleship is a four-session programme that can be used flexibly for outreach events, the basis for new communicant members classes or as a Bible study designed to deepen and foster the faith of each participant. The format of the four sessions will include vows, contextual bible studies, faith exercises and more – and each of these can be used as the leader or group considers appropriate.

Living the QuestionsMEDDO (Congregational)Discipleship
Living the Questions is a source of curriculum and media for both seekers and "church alumni/ae" convinced that Christianity still has relevance in the 21st Century. Providing a variety of flexible resources, Living the Questions can help people explore the future of Christianity and what a meaningful faith can look like in today's world People know that at its core, Christianity has something good to offer humanity. At the same time, many have a sense that they are alone in being a "thinking" Christian and that "salvaging" Christianity is a hopeless task. What is needed is a safe environment where people have permission to ask the questions they've always wanted to ask but have been afraid to voice for fear of being thought a heretic.
