Rebirth Of Belief In Norwich

We start with autumn in Norwich and end up asking why belief might be returning, especially for people who never thought church was for them. Edward’s conversation with storyteller Ruth Steadman traces a path from serendipity to reconversion, and sets out our hopes for the Rebirth of Belief project at St Peter Mancroft.  • autumn rituals and cosy evenings as a doorway into bigger questions  • candles, paraffin lamps, and the instinct to be prepared  • new beginnings at St Peter Mancroft with Annie Blythe and Raymond  • Ruth Steadman’s role as Rebirth of Belief coordinator  • a storyteller’s journey through Jonah, conversion, and the Hebrides  • quiet “nudges” and discernment rather than a fixed five-step plan  • why young adults may be newly curious about Christian faith  • truth, identity, meaning, and a move away from embarrassment about belief  • hopes for more people in church during the week and on Sundays  • funding support that makes the project possible  • Ruth’s Jonah-based storytelling morning on 31 October  • a quick street chat with teenagers about Norwich life  we hope you’ll come back and listen again when we reach November.
