Gibbs |
| Topic |
A look at the challenge of
re-engaging with the under 35 generations - Why are so many
of the under 35s leaving churches of all denominations and
across a wide spectrum of traditions? What are some of
the strategies being adopted to stem this loss? What
new forms of church are being created by the under 35s and
to what extent are churches within liturgical traditions
able to relate to their concerns and aspirations?
These are some of the questions we will be addressing in our
time together. |
Limited Seating
We have arranged luncheon space
to accommodate 300 people. After this seating is full
we will have luncheon tables for 150 more people in the
Theatre across the hallway. Eddie Gibbs' address will
be filmed and presented simultaneously in the Theatre.
Same food, same great
presentation;
only difference is one is live and the other on a "big
screen". |
