Resources
At Roots we desire to grow in our journey as an Intercultural Worshipping Community through listening to people’s stories, delving deep into the Bible and trying to read it with an understanding of cultural and theological diversity, through fantastic music and other forms of creative art, and particularly through paying attention to the voices of those that have been silenced or unheard, and those on the 'margins' of society.
There are so many great resources out there which can help us grow and thrive in our faith and everyday life with God - and a wide variety of intercultural children & family resources to help people of every age in our learning and growing, living out our faith in the world.
Feel free to browse the below, use anything you find helpful, and let us know what you think! In the coming weeks and months we hope to upload onto this page some more videos, talks, articles, books, music, art pieces and prayers to encourage, inspire and challenge - we pray that these will be useful to you in your own faith and learning journey. Check back in the coming months for other resources - this page is a work in progress!

Signposting - support services for asylum seekers and refugees
Various churches, individuals and organisations have asked for a signposting template so they can know where to go and how best to support asylum seekers and refugees they come into contact with - so here's something brief in case it's helpful, based on the things I most commonly get asked about.
