Saturday November 5

At 10 River Rd, Elderslie 2570

Speaker: Jock McGregor, director of the Rochester, USA, branch of L’Abri

Topic: Christ & Culture

• Should Christians be involved in the culture?
• How do we resist the changing values which are increasingly anti-Christian? Should we work politically towards bringing the culture back to Christian values?
• How do we affect change in our culture which is Godly?
• Are Christians just another societal group with their own agenda? Are we simply imposing these on an increasingly unsympathetic society?

These issues will be addressed by Jock in lectures and discussion:

The lecture titles …
1) Christ & Culture Revisited,
2) Christ & Culture Revisioned: Culture Making
3) Christ & Culture Revisioned: To Change the World?

Reference will be made to three books - 'Christ & Culture' by HR Niebuhr, 'Culture Making' by Andy Crouch and 'To change the World' by JD Hunter

Arrival is from 9:30am for a 10am start. Lectures are at 10am, about 3pm and 7pm, finishing by 9pm.

Please book in by Wednesday November 2 to enable catering. Donation of $25, on the day, includes meals.
