💜 Today is World Menopause Day

This year’s focus is chronic pain at midlife, raising awareness of the things that come with menopause and perimenopause, and the importance of understanding and supporting yourself as well as those around you.

At Luther King, compassion and care for one another are central to our shared life. We have recently held all staff menopause awareness training to help foster a more supportive and inclusive workplace.

We believe that menopause should never be taboo, and that those who experience it should feel supported and comfortable enough to be open about their experiences. Faith is deepened through compassion for the experiences of others: if you know someone going through the menopause, make sure you help them feel supported.

Swipe through to the infographic from the International Menopause Society to learn more about chronic pain during menopause and where to find support.

Our is "Evangelical and Inclusive", edited by David Runcorn!

As we look ahead to the Evangelical and Inclusive conference being held at Luther King later this month, we recommend this book for how it brings together voices from across church traditions exploring what it means to be rooted in evangelism while embracing LGBTQ+ inclusion.

We're especially excited because one of the contributors is our PhD student Rachel Humphrey! Rachel is a Baptist minister, and the focus of their chapter is "How Being Gay Made Me a Better Evangelical".

Whether you're attending the conference or simply interested in the conversation, this is an excellent place to start.

A warm welcome to our URC and Moravian community! 🎉The first AALP (Assembly Accredited Lay Preachers) and CLP (Church Leadership Program) residential of the academic year was a wonderful time of worship, fellowship and reflection, with autumnal sunshine adding to the atmosphere!

Alongside our usual speakers, Phil Wall (Head of Ministries: Learning and Development URC) creatively explored aspects of spirituality in the Reformed tradition. Workshops included the Hidden Garden Walk, Contemplative Crafts and Preaching Short, again offering opportunities to reflect, recharge and develop our practice. We look forward to gathering again for our next residential in March.

What advice does the Luther King community have for new and prospective students?

We asked our students, and here are their responses...
💭 “There is nothing a chocolate hobnob can’t put right”
💭 “Do not be afraid to admit that you might need some help navigating your studies”
💭 “Take one step at a time and enjoy every step. God will be with you!”
💭 “Get to know the library and how it can help and support you”
💭 “Never be afraid to ask what you might feel is a daft question”
💭 “Keep in touch with each other”
💭 “Always wear a bright coloured shirt!”
💭 “Enjoy! Chat to everyone, keep an open mind, and make friends that you’ll keep forever.”

Our students make us who we are: a vibrant community for faith, learning, and life.
