On 23 January 1990 three Charismatic Prayer Groups from the Teesside area
along with other interested people began Life in the Spirit
seminars together. At the end of the seminars the groups discerned that the Lord was calling
them to stay together as one group.
The name Theotokos was taken by this new group. Like Mary the Mother of God we try to stay open to Gods Spirit and his Word.
Theotokos Prayer Group meets 8pm every Tuesday at St. Marys Day Centre, Major Street,
Stockton -on- Tees, England. All are welcome.
The name Theotokos meaning "God Bearer" or "Mother of God"
was a title given to the Virgin Mary and confirmed by the
Council of Ephesus in 431 as a truth of the Churches
faith
Mary is Mother of God since by the Holy Spirit she conceived
and brought forth into the world Jesus Christ the Son of God
who is one with the Father.
The Council saw this belief in Mary as Theotokos as a seal on the
belief in the incarnation of Jesus whereby he assumes
human nature but in no way relinquishes his divine nature.
