Distinctly Welcoming

BLAH Brum - Romans Disarmed: Overcoming Evil with Good

Tuesday June 17th - Birmingham's Anglican Cathedral
Sylvia Keesmaat and Brian Walsh: "Romans Disarmed - Overcoming Evil with Good"

I'm delighted that we're hosting Brian and Sylvia this June. Their commentary "Colossians Remixed: Subverting the Empire" is simply the best Bible commentary you are ever likely to read. They combine real biblical, theological authority with a keen insight into contemporary culture and postmodernity. To see full details and book a place for £15 go to this website ....And then the next day you can  perhaps dip into the RUN conference in Peterborough!

RUN National Conference

On 17-19th June in Peterborough, there is the national conference of "RUN" and Brian McLaren is the keynote speaker. Other good folk like Gerard Kelly, Pall Singh, Jason Clark, Geoff Lanham, Jonny Baker and the Bishop of Stafford, Gordon Mursell, are  also contributing. Check out their website and book here. It's a network of practitioners committed to the role of local church in mission with a genuine responsiveness and engagement with culture. By the way, I think I'm doing a session on Islam in Britain on 18th June so if you are coming, come and say hello, heckle or buy me a coffee.
