Preparing the next generation of Christian leaders in public life
There’s one week left to apply for this unique and exciting opportunity to be trained and equipped for future leadership in public life. A range of internationally recognised speakers will help delegates to develop a robust Christian framework for thinking about public policy and serving Jesus in law, politics, the media, education and business.
The Academy will take place in Oxford from 20th – 25th March. We hope that it will be free of charge to successful applicants.
Would you or someone you know be interested? Find further information and an application form here – and please forward this message as appropriate.Awake, Arise
Equipping the church to engage with society
Do you live in London, South Wales or Northants? If so, don’t miss our forthcoming ‘Awake, Arise’ events. Please let others know too. Further details can be found here.
These day conferences seek to inform Christians about issues of importance in our society and local communities and give them the tools to engage effectively. For more details of forthcoming events, please click here.
If you live elsewhere or can’t make those dates, why not think about whether you or your church could help host an event – however slim the possibility, please email info@awakearise.org.uk to find out more about how we can work in partnership.Channel 4 Euthanasia Debates
Next week, Channel 4 are showing a series of short films about euthanasia as part of their 4thought.tv programmes, asking whether euthanasia should be legalised in Britain. The 90 second films will be airing after the news every evening on Channel 4 (around 7:55pm).
Viewers can share their own views on euthanasia in response to the films on the programme website here.
Please do join in the debate and make your views known as we continue to seek to protect the vulnerable and elderly.Andrea's Blog
