We need a Church capable of walking at people's side...a church which accompanies them on their journey.

WE ARE MADE TO WALK TOGETHER


Adventurous Accompaniment seeks to encourage, develop and support a culture of accompaniment within the Catholic communities in England & Wales


Our communities can extend God’s love to all and walk shoulder-to-shoulder with each other. More than living in solidarity, this is about enabling the flourishing of each person’s human dignity, where they can be fully themselves, belong and be deeply listened to.

OUR RESPONSE TO THE CALL


Responding to the calls of the Synod 23-24 and Pope Francis from the Synod of Youth for the Church to accompany all people, Million Minutes are launching Adventurous Accompaniment, a broad collaboration made of those supporting accompaniment throughout the Church.

What We Offer


Million Minutes offer an accompanied process to dioceses, organisations, religious communities, parishes, and groups. We will support partners who wish to explore the principles of Adventurous Accompaniment with their community.


We do this by:

  • Exploratory conversations to work out how this contributes to community building

  • Providing resources and facilitation to explore principles of accompaniment in specific contexts

  • Ongoing accompaniment for up to 12 months (through our Community of Accompaniers)

LET US ALL BE 'INITIATED IN THE ART OF ACCOMPANIMENT'

OUR SUPPORTERS


Million Minutes, supported by The Benedictines, The Jesuits in Britain, and Synod Fruits, alongside friends, including David Wells, Amy Cameron, Phil Callaghan, and Aseel Gilbert, have been exploring how the Church might be initiated into the ‘art of accompaniment’. Over three years, through professional research and practical workshops, we have involved nearly 300 people, helping to develop our learning in accompaniment. It has helped us to distill five guiding principles, which are at the core of this project.
