Come to the Bishop’s Bible Day
This year the theme is The Old Testament for the church and the world today.
The day for anyone who uses the Bible; in their ministry, in church, in school, at work, in the community and at home.
There are two talks from Bishop Donald, and a choice of two workshops during the day.
There are many available including:
- Friends or Foes? Multiculturalism in the Old Testament: exploring the contradictory traditions of ethnic purity and being YHWH’s means of saving all the nations with Bishop John.
- The Good Shepherd: How Jesus used Psalm 23 to describe himself and his mission with Chrys Tremththanmor
- Amnon and Tamar: Top tips for avoiding Lust and Murder in everyday life. A frank and honest reflection on handling challenging issues in discipleship and accountability with Chad Chadwick
- What can we learn from the Life Coaches in the Old Testament? with Adrian Holdstock
- Scripture in a nut shell: Human identity, Death and Life with Charlie Nobbs
- Making the connection between Old and New : When is the New more helpfully understood in the light of the Old? with Richard Ormston
- The prophet Joel: how deep do our reflection and penitence go? with Barry Morrison.
- Exploring the timeline of the Old Testament through storytelling with Angela Hughes
