March Online Workshop- 'Original Blessing'

Led by Rev. Maggy Whitehouse


Saturday 11th March, 2023
10am – 4.30pm, 
Online via zoom 
£35
Christianity has long taught the concept of Original Sin, where humanity needed the death of Christ to redeem our errors. But Franciscan Christianity has always taught ‘original blessing’ instead. The Franciscan view is that Jesus was Plan A, not any kind of Plan B for when things went wrong. And this beautiful teaching also calls creation ‘the first Bible’ understanding that Divine presence has always been in love with its outpouring from the very start.

This one-day online course explores the magic and mystery that led the Franciscans to hold such a different world view from conventional Christianity – a view that brings hope, ties faith directly with ecology and shows us a way forward in love, rather than fear.

Tickets £35 (concessions available, email to enquire)

About Maggy
Rev. Maggy Whitehouse is a best-selling author on mystical interpretation of the Bible. Her books include The Book of Deborah, A Woman’s Worth, Prosperity Teachings of the Bible and The Marriage of Jesus. Maggy is a freelance, ordained minister, who has studied and worked with Unity for more than 20 years. She works wherever God chooses to send her. To her utter consternation, this has included becoming a stand-up comedian and a minister on the West Devon Methodist Circuit. Until ordination, Maggy worked as a BBC journalist in radio and TV and she is a former BBC Radio Devon Sunday Morning faith presenter.

Maggy does not teach that one has to ‘aspire’ or ‘climb ladders of perfection’ to attain what is clearly out of normal human reach. No, she explains, with humour and humanity, how we can actually touch the magic ‘down here’, in and through our cracked ego-protecting shells. I guarantee that if you’re genuinely open to her message, whatever background, path or tradition you happen to have arrived here from, you will come away touched and changed                 
​                                                                                                                 Rev. Mark Townsend, author of 
The Gospel of Falling Down.
