Great changes in science and technology have always had the power to transform ourselves and the Church. The printing press, the industrial revolution, the Space Age… all have reshaped our societies and communities. The Church has often been at the forefront of many of these advances. We have used them to spread the Gospel more widely than ever before. We have used them to shake up corrupt political power and to help educate and lift people from poverty. But the latest and greatest is perhaps that of the Digital Age. Thanks to the transformative power of this technology we can now communicate faster, further and in closer connection with a truly global audience. We have new methods to tell our stories to anyone who will log on, listen, read or view. Balanced with this though are the ways in which the digital world has the potential to increase divisions and distance between people like never before. Beyond this it also opens up new ideas and possibilities about what it means to be human, community and Church. Join us as we spend a day exploring these ideas, going beyond simple talk of clicks, likes and views to dig deeper into what it means to a Christian believer in today’s digital era.

What does it look like to engage with spiritual disciplines in a world saturated by the technology we create? About this Event This evening we'll be thinking about how the technology we've been involved in creating impacts our spiritual lives. We'll be joined by Dr. Sara Schumacher, Sara is the is Director of Education and Tutor and Lecturer in Theology and the Arts at St Mellitus College. Through her talk, we'll be considering how we can regain the spiritual disciplines in a world full of technology.

This conference has been born out of a desire to see God move in the places and people we move amongst each and every day, many of whom would never enter a church building. Our aim is to see Christians live out the gospel in and through their workplace - impacting themselves, their work and our city. Thus, the theme of the conference is how we can be an influence and make an impact in the workplace.
