East Anglia invite to join Word on Fire conference

Catholics from East Anglia are planning to join a crowd of over 3,000 people at the forthcoming Evangelisation & Culture Conference hosted by the ‘Word on Fire’ Catholic ministry on February 21-22, 2025 at the Excel Centre, London.

One of the attendees will be Rebecca Bretherton, the diocesan Coordinator for Evangelisation. Rebecca said: “I’m really looking forward to being at this event. One of the largest ever gatherings of Catholics in the UK will hear from world-famous speakers and learn how to share our faith with others. East Anglian pilgrims heard Bishop Barron talk at World Youth Day in Lisbon last year. His words inspired many of the young people on our trip.” 

The theme of the conference is The Bible. Word on Fire’s Brenden Thompson said: “’To proclaim Christ in the culture, we must know Christ; and to know Christ, we must know Scripture. As St. Jerome observed, ‘Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ’.

But in order to uncover the spiritual and theological meaning of the Bible, we need to take a genuinely Catholic approach: reading it within the context of the great and beautiful chorus of voices from across the centuries of the Church’s tradition.’
