Cross+Talk
Creating Discussions That Make a Difference


Cross+Talk is an open, lay-lead group that tackles topics of mutual interest, held in a friendly and convivial atmosphere, based in the parish but welcoming people of any faith or none. It is for anyone interested in an informal yet sincere exchange of views on a variety of vexed questions ... matters of faith and morals, and the great range of issues that present themselves to us in the Scriptures, in Society and in our Selves.

There is something to interest everyone, so if you or someone you know would like to join us sometime, do come along when you can. Meetings are Thursdays from 7:30pm - in the nearby Prince Regent pub (we tend to sit left of the main entrance, Prince Regent Street, a few doors from Lloyds Bank) - during Our Lady and the English Martyrs' (OLEM) Parish Hall renovation (hopefully to reopen during Dec. 2009).

Occasionally there will be a Holy Day, a special liturgy or a Parish Forum meeting on a Thursday, so please check this page for updates. Further information is available from Ronald on Tel.: (01223) 690089, or e-mail RonaldHaynes@yahoo.com. Hope to see you soon!
