The Workshops and Speakers are:
John Wyatt: Staying Fruitful in Changing Times
John Wyatt is Emeritus Professor of Neonatal Paediatrics at University College London and a Senior Researcher at the Faraday Institute, Cambridge University. He says this about his workshop: A long life has its seasons and we are called to continuing fruitfulness as followers of Christ, despite the changing times and the passing of the years. How can we try to understand the season we are living in now and how can we prepare now for the new seasons that are to come?
Venue: Main Church
Helen Miller: Being the Church in a Secular Age
Every era is marked by change, but the current rate seems particularly intense. It was only November 2022 when ChatGPT first came on the scene and now AI is one of the most talked about topics of our day. Global and local events are constantly in flux, prompting us to prayer and lament. Amid these challenges, we can sometimes lose sight of Jesus’ ongoing ministry and sovereign lordship.
Venue: Old School
