Challenge for the Church: Antisemitism
How has the Church been antisemitic in the past? How can the Church resist antisemitism today? And other uncomfortable questions...

Multivocational Church? How might we have a good conversation?
For congregational teams! Join us for a conversational online webinar with James Watson. Tent-making has a long tradition in the Christian church. In the New Testament, Paul, Priscilla and Aquila, worked as tent-makers to support their ministries. From a contemporary perspective, tent-making or multi-vocational ministry, is drawing an increasing amount of attention. James Watson will guide our conversation to what the questions could, or should be, as churches and leaders consider Multivocational Ministry.
