Lent Course: Christ & the Chocolaterie

Jan
26

This original and innovative Lent Course uses the film ‘Chocolat’, based on the novel by Joanne Harris, as a starting point for exploring issues about God, the world, and what it is to be human.   

The five sessions include extracts from the film, group discussion, questions, exercises, meditations, reading suggestions and Bible passages. Information also includes the curious history of chocolate, the unfair economics of chocolate and ideas for a chocolate feast!
