CTA AGM & Convention 2008
Written by Administrator   

CTA Convention 2008 More than 120 people took part in CTA's 2008 Convention. We have had very positive feedback, with many saying it was the best convention we have had to date.

CTA Trustees wish to extend their heart-felt thanks to all our speakers, workshop leaders and indeed everyone who attended and helped to make the event a real feast of ideas and inspiration on making our churches more accessible and welcoming to visitors. 

Speaker and workshop presentations (where available) will be uploaded onto the website shortly, so please call again soon.

ImageIn the meantime, some photos from the event have been set up via the photo-sharing service Flickr. You can view these right here. Most of these have been taken by Roy Thompson and Sarah Arthur. [For more details of people featured, you will need to click on the link at the top of the slideshow.]

Also, please take part in our new poll - see right-hand side of the Home page - to respond to some of the views that Sir Roy Strong shared with us. Click on 'Read more', below, to see a short video clip of Sir Roy Strong.
