OPEN FORUM : DARNELL ROOM ~ ALL WELCOME

Exploring the Ministry of Laying on of Hands with Prayer and Anointing Healing, reconciliation and restoration are integral to the good news of Jesus Christ. For this reason prayer for individuals, focused through laying on of hands or anointing with oil, has a proper place within the public prayer of the Church. God’s gracious activity of healing is to be seen both as part of the proclaiming of the good news and as an outworking of the presence of the Spirit in the life of the Church. ~ Introduction from Common Worship We are exploring the possibility of reintroducing this ministry in a public setting into the life of the Cathedral. Sometimes simply referred to as ‘the ministry of healing’ it is a very powerful offering of the church that also needs to be approached with sensitivity and care.
