New Forest Forest Church Team
Although on occasion some of the regular attenders of NFFC lead one of the gatherings, there are a few of us who regularly lead. They are:
David Cassian Cole
David has long had a fascination of the spiritual and supernatural concept of the natural world. Before he encountered the Cosmic Christ in a vision he spent time as a Pagan and learned to see and encounter the spiritual in the natural world. After his spiritual journey began to be centred on Christ he soon discovered through Celtic Christianity that the wonder of the spiritual in the natural world was not lost in the Christian faith. He began to study and learn more about Celtic Christianity and the Christian Mystic tradition which also saw the wonder of the Divine in nature.
As well as continuing to personally engage with the Divine presence in the natural world, he began to run occasional days and sessions open to the public to facilitate opportunities for others to do the same. He soon discovered that many other Christians were doing the same, and was connected to the founders of the Forest Church movement from the start. He started New Forest Forest Church in the summer of 2014. It was one of the first to join the then new national movement.
David often joins the facilitators of the other Forest Church groups from around the UK to help lead sessions at the Greenbelt festival; and has been part of, and led prayers at Extinction Rebellion rallies in London.
