Rev Frog Orr-Ewing:

Frog Orr-Ewing Session 1

Reinventing the Urban Church for Mission What happens when we bring two ideas together – the parish and the mission field? We end up with the endlessly creative task of advancing the Kingdom of God, growing and passing on our faith to the new generations in our cities and communities. Reinventing church for the urban situation is a chance to engage with scripture, theology, stories and lessons from the urban church and inner-city ministry in the UK. It is designed to inspire and inform and begin a series of local conversations which will help equip local churches in Australia to turn today’s challenges into today’s opportunities. Frog Orr-Ewing is involved in renewing urban parishes, first in London and recently in Walsall, UK.

Frog Orr-Ewing Session 2

Reinventing the Church for Rural Ministry will blend realism, confidence and determination, and draw on missiology, history and first hand experience. Latimer Minster is a rural church plant that has grown from meeting in a private home, to flourishing in a farm environment – a Church of England church plant which now resources and helps plant other churches, meets in barns and tents, and looks after a 70 acre ancient fruit farm, half way between London and Oxford. It is hoped that some of these insights and several mistakes along the way will help equip us to imagine new ways of growing churches in our more rural areas of ministry.

"Understanding our context "

Dr Wes Hill:

Wes Hill Friday Night Session

“Radical Inclusion: How the Gospel Redefines What it Means to Belong”: One of the buzzwords of Western cultures at the moment is “inclusion.” The gospel of Jesus Christ knows about inclusion too, but it doesn’t accept our current definition of the term unchanged. In Jesus’ kingdom, inclusion doesn’t simply affirm our felt identities but rather transforms those identities so that our belonging is set on a new and deeper foundation — that of the radical, judging, and saving grace of God.

Panel

Responding to the Imperative of Inclusion: What are some practical ways that we can respond to the imperative of inclusion in our workplaces and in society in general.
