Over five weeks from 23rd September to 21st October, Bradford Cathedral will be hosting the Difference Course created by the Reconciling Leaders Network. The course is formed of interactive sessions exploring how to follow Jesus in a conflicted world.

In a divided and fractured world, it can be hard to know where to begin with the issues that surround us. This course offers a hopeful path forward; to build bridges, foster forgiveness, and nurture flourishing communities.

Over five engaging sessions, participants will explore how to navigate disagreement with grace and courage, and learn practical tools to engage meaningfully across divides. This is more than just learning; it's a call to live out reconciliation in everyday relationships, contributing to healing and unity in our city and beyond. All are welcome to participate, whether you're seeking to grow in discipleship, enhance your leadership, or simply engage with others eager for peace. Difference offers a safe and inspiring space to discover your role in shaping a more generous, inclusive future.

Bradford Cathedral has a 1400 year history of convening people across differences, and the Difference Course will continue this story of interculturality and hospitality.

The Revd Canon Ned Lunn, Bradford Cathedral’s Canon for Intercultural Mission and the Arts, says: 

"At Bradford Cathedral we believe God is weaving a story of reconciliation; rooted in prayer, shaped by hospitality, open to intercultural encounters, and alive with innovation. The Difference course is an invitation to join that story: to discover how forgiveness, courage, and hope can transform division into community, and shape a future where all can flourish."

The Difference Course at Bradford Cathedral takes place on Tuesdays from 7:30pm - 9pm, from 23rd September to 21st October. Places are free and can be reserved here.
