How do we as Christians ‘Walk the Talk’ in the 21st Century?
That is the title of a conference for laity to be held at Scottish Churches House, Dunblane from 23 to 25 May. The conference is an opportunity for Christians of all denominations to meet each other in a prayerful and thoughtful setting to explore what faith means today. Led by Alison Moody and Larry Hurtado it will encourage participants to ask:
- Who is God for us today?
- How does the Jesus of history relate to the Christ of faith?
- Where do we discern the Holy Spirit?
Larry Hurtado is Professor of New Testament at New College, Edinburgh. Fascinated by earliest Christian responses to Christ, he has recently produced a DVD entitled: "Devotion to Jesus: The Divinity of Christ in Earliest Christianity".He will offer the conference a scholarly and spiritually challenging presentation uncovering the historical facts of when, where and why people believed in the divinity of Christ.
Alison Moody works in spiritual direction. She is a member of the Epiphany Group which is rooted in the Ignatian tradition and offers help and support to individuals, informal groups, churches and parishes who wish to explore the spiritual aspects of life and faith in their own setting. She will guide the conference participants into prayerful reflection on where they sense God at work in their lives.
