Continuing the journey
- The course is based on a beautifully illustrated CTBI publication Sense Making Faith, written by Anne Richards. There is more material to explore in the book in the ‘Journey into Touching' chapter and you can explore further journeys and ideas in the Explore section of www.spiritualjourneys.org.uk in the section called 'Touch'. This resource is also paired with another for Mothering Sunday, which you might also want to have a look at.
