Facing the Storm

It's been a while since Faith and the Environment organised anything. After the pandemic we took a bit of a break as we were involved in other activities. We now feel the time is right for the first of a couple of conferences. We have titled it 'Facing the Storm – Preparing for a Different Future'. It will take place in Lincoln on Saturday 1st March from 10am to 4pm.

Jesus told the religious leaders of his day that they needed to read the signs of the times! What are the signs of the times that we need to see today and how should we respond?

In addition to the climate and nature crisis we are seeing so many other crises in the UK and around the world – poverty, conflict, migration, AI, pandemic, etc.

How do we read these signs? How can our churches respond to these changes and how can we build communities which can thrive in what is likely to be a very different future?

Our Keynote speaker will be Roy Searle, one of the founders of the Northumbria Community and ex-President of the Baptist Union. Roy has extensive experience working in many different contexts, primarily within the church and charitable sectors but speaking also into the 'public square' far and wide across Europe.

Bishop Nicholas, Anglican Bishop of Grantham, will also be joining us to report on his visit to Fiji last year for the Moana 2 conference.

Tickets are £5 and can be obtained using the QR code in the image above or via https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/facing-the-storm-tickets-1195742892179.

We look forward to seeing as many of you as can make it for what we expect will be a thought provoking and helpful day.
