Teaching track ‘Side by side’

Lawyers operate in a competitive marketplace, and an adversarial justice system, in which even one’s friends today can be one’s opponents tomorrow.

This Autumn we want to help you think through how Christian lawyers can best minister to each other and to our colleagues in the law and beyond. With the help of Edward Welch’s brilliant book Side by Side, we will consider how we can move beyond the superficialities of networking to truly walk alongside each other and share each other’s burdens through word and actions.

Each session will include an introductory talk and a discussion which will be accessible to all – so don’t worry of you haven’t been able to read the book in advance of the meeting.

The topics for the 7 sessions and the book chapters to read are:

- We are needy (Chapters 1-6)

- Moving towards each other with the spirit (Chapters 7-8)

- Sharper conversations (Chapter 9)

- Enjoying each other and hearing stories (Chapters 10-11)

- Compassion and prayer (Chapters 12-13)

- Satan and talking about sin (Chapters 14-16)

- Telling the story (Chapter 17)

Join us during lunchtime (1pm) on the dates below for this special seven-part series.

Session 1: Wednesday 20 September

Session 2: Wednesday 4 October

Session 3: Wednesday 18 October
