For Such a Time as This: How can we be the church of Jesus Christ in a secular world?

Gospel Yarning will again inspire, empower and connect us. This event will significantly raise your understanding of how the context of secularism affects the church, and introduce tools for strengthening your ministry in that context. This affects the whole church.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Gospel Yarning 2020 is for:

• ministers,
• chaplains,
• deacons,
• presbytery workers, and
• ministry agents

in the Uniting Chuch in Australia and Uniting NSW/ACT.

WHAT WE’LL DO

We will meet to talk/talanoa/yarn in OIKOS groups, open space sessions, elective discussions and share our stories.

SPEAKERS

Keynote Speaker: Rev Dr Peter Hobson, Wesley Mission Queensland / Albert Street UCA, Brisbane –
Formerly a local minister, university chaplain and lecturer, Peter is a good communicator, and a story-teller who is a good thinker about the world we seek to reach.

Theological Respondent and Comedian: Pastor Paul Montague.
One half of ‘Pirate Church‘, Paul knows how to tell us the truth about ourselves, make us uncomfortable like the Holy Spirit does, and helps us to see the road ahead.
