EXCUSE ME, DO YOU SPEAK (MY KIND) OF CHRISTIAN? – Witnessing to an environmentally vigilant, socially sensitive, and aesthetically mindful yet biblically illiterate generation – Christian witness is massively under assault for being anti most values our society holds dear (absolute freedom, equality, liberalism, gender and sexuality, environment). How do we enter into conversation without being dismissed as bigots and moralists? This session aims at helping (1) to understand our moment in time, particularly in the western world, where major social shifts are taking place. In the course of our time together we will (2) look at some of the major challenges to biblical worldview from the secular perspective. Then we will (3) consider how Paul’s example might be helpful in finding ways to building connections. Lastly (4) we will study some practical approaches and draw some conclusions and applications.
