Celebrate Bruised Reeds & Mustard Seeds – An Evening at St George’s
St George’s is delighted to be hosting a special evening of conversation, reflection, and celebration this June.
On Friday 26th June at 7.30 pm, we welcome Revd Jody Stowell, who will be in conversation with Revd Alexandra Lilley to explore themes from Bruised Reeds & Mustard Seeds. We warmly congratulate Jody on her publication and Alexandra on her collaboration with this project, both of which reflect a deep commitment to thoughtful, hope-filled dialogue for small churches in the Anglican Communion.

At a time when churches across denominations face a steady decline in attendance, smaller congregations often find themselves overshadowed by the push for growth and numbers. While larger ‘Resource Churches’ are praised for their expansion, the true value of the smaller church is frequently overlooked. But what if there’s a unique gift in these smaller communities?
Jody Stowell invites you to explore how, in the race for growth, we may be missing the deep significance and essential role of smaller congregations. As anxiety about survival and financial security spreads throughout the church, local churches and their leaders bear the burden. Yet within these smaller churches lies a richness, resilience and spiritual depth that is often lost in the noise. This is a call to rediscover the profound worth of smaller congregations and recognize their vital place in the future of faith communities.
