St. Lawrence's is not a parish church, but aims to be a pilgrimage church,
similar to places on the continent where people go for refreshment,
prayer and spiritual development. e.g. St. Benoit-sur-Loire.
The aim of such places is
to encourage both Christians and others whose religious aspirations
are much more general.
St. Lawrence's tries only to provide the space in which the presence
of God may be perceived by Christians and by the religious senses of
many others.
- To be
a patron of the arts:
- Musical concerts of a wide range
- Art & craft exhibitions
- Encouragement and support
of artists and craftsman
- To
offer hospitality to Visitors in summer:
- Refreshments available at times
- Quiet days (including
the Sacristans Garden)
- To
provide education:
- Diocesan training
- Information exhibitions
- Sunday school
During the years of restoration and development, St. Lawrence's has been used in many creative and spiritual ways, but with the completion of the toilets, heating and simple catering facilities, St. Lawrence's can really begin to fulfil its aims.
