Christian Listeners
The Mill, in partnership with the Acorn Christian Healing Foundation and the Agape Trust, is developing a local network of Christian Listeners on the Island.
The Acorn Christian Healing Foundation has at its heart the belief that good, structured listening is a powerful resource for healing and reconciliation in our fragmented and damaged world.
The Agape Trust is continuing to fund and support a programme of Christian Listening training, beginning with introductory days leading to one and five day advanced courses. These are designed to equip the Island's Christian community to listen more effectively to God, themselves and the world around them.
A variety of ministries are being developed by those already trained. Further courses are planned to develop skills and train new listeners this year.
