OASIS
is a non-profit organisation serving the business
community and exploring connections between business
and spirituality. The organisation is sponsored
by the Parish Church of St Cuthbert in partnership
with St John's Church and St George's West Church.
It operates as a partnership of business and church
leaders who seek to support individuals and groups
in the business community.
Since
the retirement in 2007 of Rev Tom Cuthell, the
previous minister of St Cuthbert's, Oasis has
been relatively inactive.
However,
in May 2008, St Cuthbert's welcomed a new minister,
Rev David Denniston. David is eager to see Oasis
get "back on track" as soon as possible.
At the moment, work is ongoing to re-establish
a staff team at St Cuthbert's who will share in
the work of Oasis. Once this team is in place,
the intention is to "re-launch" Oasis
in early 2009.
In
the meanwhile, David is available to provide a
"Listening
Ear"
for any in the business community who would want
to talk with someone. And St Cuthbert's (along
with St John's and St George's West) remain open
during the day for those seeking a place of peace,
prayerfulness and sanctuary.
On the third Wednesday of each month between September
and May a lunchtime
'Time
for Reflection' is offered in the
main sanctuary of St Cuthbert's Church.

has as its theme
Jesus' Parables.
