Kres led by Another Way
Kres (Cornish for “peace”) is a space for stillness, reflection, and creative worship, hosted by Another Way, a pioneering community based in Truro. Inspired by Cornwall’s rich spiritual heritage, Kres weaves together ancient and contemporary expressions of faith through music, poetry, storytelling, and liturgy.
Each gathering explores a different theme - sometimes rooted in the seasons, sometimes in the stories of saints and seekers who have walked before us, and always in the deep questions of life, faith, and reconciliation. We hold in tension the longing for peace and the reality of struggle, both in our own hearts and in the world around us.
July’s Kres service will explore the mystical symbolism of oak trees, with help from guest contributor Sophie Craven of The Convivial. They’ll use readings, poems, ambient music and ritual to explore the story of these mighty trees, rediscovering their religious and spiritual significance for today.
Kres is an hour of ambient music, contemplative prayer inspired by Celtic Christianity, storytelling and poetry; a chance to wander the cathedral and find quiet moments.
Another Way is a community rooted in Cornwall, inspired by the land, its spirituality and its stories. Drawing on the traditions of Celtic Christianity we follow in the footsteps of those who shaped this 'Land of Saints.' We gather across Cornwall, sharing meals, worship, creativity and the arts, pilgrimage, prayer and acts of service, living a rich, seasonal rhythm together. In a time when many are searching for meaning and hope, we rediscover ancient practices that ground us and reconnect us to God, to one another, and to the land. Another Way is an invitation to walk this path.
Kres is a space for everyone, whether you come with faith, doubt, or curiosity, you are welcome. They use the language of the Christian tradition while making room for personal reflection and interpretation. You are invited to participate in prayers, songs, and readings as much or as little as you feel comfortable.
