Theology of Play with Phil Walker-Harding

We know that from the start of recorded history people have always played games. Why does play seem to be such an important part of the human experience for both children and adults? What does play tell us about ourselves and about God? What purpose can it serve in the rhythm of our lives? As a game designer, Phil will share some of his thoughts about these interesting questions.

Letting the Gospel Transform Your Vision for Work

Join the Teaching Tent on Saturday 25th at 11am for

Letting the Gospel Transform Your Vision for Work with Matt Aroney

The wondrous gospel of God in Christ changes the way we view everything. We are often tempted to live as if our work hours are not touched by this momentous news. However, if we consider the full story of redemption, creation to new creation, we can look at our work differently! We will consider how to use the five-act gospel to make sense of our parts of our work in light of what God has done in Jesus.

A Spiritual Rhythm for Work

Join the Teaching Tent on Saturday 25th at 10am for

A Spiritual Rhythm for Work with Matt Aroney

One way of integrating our faith into the way we work is by considering a basic rhythm to our workday. All workdays have a rhythm to them, perhaps this opens opportunities to engage with God as we walk through the joys and challenges of the day. We will consider some practical approaches for doing just this and leave with some prayers and ideas for consciously working in view of our identity as God's children.

The Water We're Swimming In - Cultural Analysis

Join the Teaching Tent on Saturday 25th at 5pm for

The Water We're Swimming In - Cultural Analysis with Dani Treweek

There is a moment in Finding Nemo when Nemo's dad is feeling particularly lost - both literally and metaphorically. He doesn't know what to do and where to go. In that moment, Dory says to him "You know what you gotta do? Just keep swimming..." .

As Christians living in a world which is becoming more and more unfamiliar and, in many ways, really quite daunting, we might find ourselves relating more and more to Nemo's dad. Is Dory's advice to him the advice we need to? If we are going to "just keeping swimming" in this increasingly foreign landscape then we need to understand the water we're swimming in. We need to have some understanding of its depths, its currents, its tides, its shallows, its rips. And we need to understand how all these things effect us as Christians who "just keep swimming".
