​​

A gathering for church, charity and community leaders to grapple with what it means to be an intercultural Church that impacts our towns and cities.
 

THEME: ONE BODY. MANY PARTS
‘from every nation, tribe, people and language

We are witnessing a profound movement of the Spirit, reminiscent of the Ephesian moment, where diverse cultures in some of our cities and towns come together in Christ, creating a vibrant and diverse body surpassing anything seen since apostolic days. However, in other places, some still need to figure out how to respond. We must guard against the pitfall of assuming that our own cultural interpretation of the Christian faith is the only valid one, as this can hinder unity. The metaphors of the temple and the body remind us that each cultural segment is necessary but incomplete on its own. Just as a temple comprises different components, each serving a specific purpose, the body of Christ consists of diverse cultural segments, each contributing unique gifts and perspectives. These metaphors emphasise that no single expression of Christianity can fully represent the entirety of Christ's body; true completion and fullness are found only in Christ, not in any particular cultural expression or interpretation of the faith. 

Whether you are one of the pioneering groups bringing together the church interrculturally in your area or whether you are just starting out, this overnight conference is a place to connect into what God is doing. The event will draw on theologians, thinkers, practitioners and prophetic voices and will include
 
• Interactive Workshops and Panel Discussions
• Engaging Keynote Short Speeches
• Networking Opportunities with fellow travellers 
• Inspiring Testimonies of Kingdom Impact
• United in Worship - Intercultural Worship
• Visionary Strategies to Create Lasting Change


FOUR TRACKS
The programme will break down into four dynamic tracks with focus on inter-ethnic, inter-generation and other subcultures:
