The Holy Land: Gift or Entitlement?
For decades the struggle over the Land has led to conflict in the Middle East. How should believers interpret the biblical texts related to the Land?
Our renowned speaker, Fr John Deehan, is a Scripture scholar, who taught for many years at Allen Hall Seminary. Fr John will speak on Saturday 4th July from 11 am until 1 pm, with break for lunch, at Christ the Eternal High Priest Catholic Church, Gidea Park, RM2 6DH. Admission free. Coffee from 10.30. The event will also be available via live stream on www.whatgoodnews.org
St Francis of Assisi: his Legacy for Today
St Francis died 800 years ago, in October 1226. This is consequently a Franciscan Jubilee Year. On 2nd May Fr Alban McCoy, OFM Conv, spoke about how Francis changed the Church of his day, and can help renew the Church in our own times. The talks took place in the hall at the Catholic Church of Christ the High Priest in Gidea Park. You can now watch the whole programme free of charge by clicking below.
Welcome to What Good News!
The Christian message is good news. That is essentially what ‘gospel’ means.
Our reaction as believers to the message of Jesus, and that of millions of people throughout the last two thousand years, has been one of gratitude.
With the apostle Paul we pray: ‘May the word of Christ in all its richness find a home in you.’ (Colossians 3:16)
