The event was free between 6.30 & 8pm on Thursday 19/2/15 and is the 1st of a series a of Lent/Easter events that @StPaulsForum have organised.  At the foot of this post is a video of the event that St. Pauls posted.

So my thanks to @StPaulsForum for the event and here goes with the 10 ideas I most liked - in no particular order

1) Listen & Quiet

1. Joey Knock ‏@JoeyKnock  

   Wonderful, thought chewing evening at @StPaulsForum with @JustinWelby. Secret to #goodlent not so secret: listen to God, pray in the quiet

so ......turn off the distractions

1. St Paul's Forum ‏@StPaulsForum  

   Silence: turn off the phone and the telly and take 10 -15 minutes, bring the wondering thoughts to God. Justin Welby #goodlent

2) Read Luke

1. Liz Guest ‏@76_TwinOne  

   Lent challenge to listen. Read Luke's gospel - what does it say , mean and what am I going to do about it. #goodlent

3) Speak less

1. St Paul's Forum ‏@StPaulsForum  15 hrs15 hours ago

   We can fast from having to speaking about things for a while. Justin Welby #goodlent

1. St Paul's Forum ‏@StPaulsForum  

   I quite often go into a meeting and write on the top of the agenda, shut up! to himself Justin Welby #goodlent

4) Peace time

1. Becky Stephens ‏@BeckyLStephens  

   Spending time where you know you can find peace #goodlent

5) Pray honestly & outwardly

1. Bids in Graceland ‏@BidsInGraceland  15 hrs15 hours ago

   #TipsforPrayer 1. Pray honestly (God knows anyway). 2. Be outward in your prayers @StPaulsForum #goodlent #JustinWelby #thoughtoftheday

6) Love someone a little more

1. St Paul's Forum ‏@StPaulsForum  

   #goodlent Don't beat yourself up! Do something extra, love someone a little more that you find difficult and don't tell them! Justin Welby

1. Mark Russell ‏@markrusselluk  

   A #goodlent for the Church is taking up the habit of paying attention to those with whom we disagree @JustinWelby

7) So for a parish church ....

1. St Paul's Forum ‏@StPaulsForum  

   Parish: get together for a simple meal, bit of time in silent prayer, talk about what it's like to be Christians. Justin Welby #goodlent

1. St Paul's Forum ‏@StPaulsForum  

   we hear God in the most unlikely places when we listen collectively Justin Welby #goodlent

8) Send me

1. brenda murray ‏@brenda_murray  

   Here am I, send me #goodlent

1. St Paul's Forum ‏@StPaulsForum  

   Here am I, send me - the emphasis needs to be on send, not me. Mark Oakley #goodlent

9) Fasting

1. St Paul's Forum ‏@StPaulsForum  

   Fast from something other than food: try giving up TV and use the silence for silence - half an hour, the adverts... Justin Welby #goodlent

10) Meet people as if Christ

1. St Paul's Forum ‏@StPaulsForum 

   Benedict says that you must meet everyone as if they were Christ. Justin Welby #goodlent
