In many ways, living as a ‘royal priesthood’ (1 Peter 2:9) is simpler (and safer) under a liberal democracy. But as recent political economic turmoil has demonstrated, things are still pretty upside-down in 21st-Century Britain.
Our Christian identity and message is distinctive, and must be declared in word and deed. But how can we do this as one particular voice among many in our pluralistic society, when religious comments on the status quo are often seen as intolerant and unwelcome? And how do we guard against faith’s malfunctions, whether being overly defensive or controlling?
To help you explore these questions, join LICC for a three-week discussion of Miroslav Volf’s modern classic, A Public Faith: How Followers of Christ Should Serve the Common Good.
Session 2: Thursday 9 March | 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Session 3: Thursday 23 March | 7:00pm - 9:00pm

The theme of this year's Christian's in Science Connect Conference is 'Science, Faith, and Ethics'! Science is a good gift from God - but how do we steward it and use it in a way that glorifies God? This conference will aim to answer and get us thinking about these questions.

Right and left. Traditional and progressive. Old and young. Rural and urban. In these turbulent times, our public square is fragmenting, as a number of different worldviews and ideologies jostle for top spot. And as secularism takes hold, Christianity doesn’t have the cultural authority it once did – indeed, faith perspectives are often ignored, maligned, or misunderstood.
Yet it’s in the public square, our workplaces, our neighbourhoods, our families that Christ has called us to live as salt and light, bringing out the God-flavours and God-colours of the world.
So, how might we live distinctly, whilst partnering with those around us – however different their views may be – to pursue the common good? How might we live as a creative minority, to ‘seek the peace and prosperity’ of the places God has put us (Jeremiah 29:7)? How can we use our influence to join in with God’s redemptive work?
