By Angus RitchieApril 2017

Father Angus Ritchie is the Assistant Priest at St George-in-the-East in East London and Director of The Centre for Theology & Community.

Here, he explores the journey of St George-in-the-East and the initiatives of ‘Choir Church’, ‘Open Table’ and ‘English, Prayer, Action’, and examines the values of vulnerability, compassion and sacramental worship at the heart of mission and outreach at St George-in-the-East.
