Nothing More and Nothing Less by Virginia Moffatt
** Suitable for online learning and study **Nothing More and Nothing Less is a new and original Lent course by Virginia Moffatt, which uses the powerful, multi-award winning film I, Daniel Blake, directed by Ken Loach and written by Paul Laverty, as an opportunity for us to question why so many people in our society are suffering, what causes injustice and oppression - looking at examples from Jesus' time as well as today - and what we can do in response.The course is based around five weekly group sessions entitled:* Systems of Oppression* Staying Human* Compassion in the Darkness* Fighting Back or Giving In?* The Suffering ServantEach session includes suggested clips from I, Daniel Blake to watch as a group (with timings for a DVD or film download), reflection points and discussion starters, a suitable Bible reading and prayers, and a short section of suggestions for ways in which course members could make a positive practical response.Virginia Moffatt was born in London, one of eight children, several of whom are writers. Her eldest brother has written a theology book, one sister is a poet, a second, a translator and her twin is a successful author.
Virginia has always been a writer, but only began to take it seriously in 2004, when she first had the idea for Echo Hall. In 2009 she set up her blog, 'A Room of My Own' where she publishes flash fiction, short essays, and reflections about writing and reading.
After working in social care for thirty years, she left local government to work for the Christian thinktank Ekklesia in 2014.
Virginia is married to Chris Cole, Director of Drone Wars UK. They have three children and they live in Oxford.
