Over Lent 2010, the people of Durham got together for “The Big Read“, working their way through Luke, using the first of three texts to be written by Tom Wright, using events, podcasts and housegroup materials. This was such a success, that for the second text, Matthew, it is planned that this activity goes national for 2011: The Big Read for Lent 2011, with much greater use of new media, in a project which we anticipate with different materials post-Lent.
