Stepping into the grey, guided by the light
This year, rather than just having 1 speaker, we've decided to offer a series of workshops and you can choose which ones you would like to attend.
Each workshop will last about an hour and you will attend 2. These are the workshops we are proposing, we intend to run the 5 or 6 most popular, which you can select when booking.
1. Gaza and Israel: Should we take a side or remain neutral?
2. Prophecy: What might happen before Jesus returns?
3. Women’s Roles: Should women lead, or is their role different?
4. Social Media and AI: A tool for good or a spiritual danger?
5. Sex and Relationships: What can / can't I do?
6. Mental Health: Is faith enough, or do we need more?
7. The Problem of Evil: Can we explain why God allows suffering
8. Ethical Consumption: Should Christians care about what we buy?
9. The Environment: Should Christians take action or leave it to God?
10. Entertainment and Leisure: Is it harmless fun or a spiritual risk?
