It is of the utmost importance that you sign your child in each day, taking a ‘kiddie
card’ and checking that a leader is aware that your child has arrived. It is also
helpful if you can ensure that your child is fed and changed before you leave him
or her – they are much more likely to settle well if they are comfortable. At the end
of the session, your child will only be released to you when you hand the ‘kiddie
card’ over to your child’s helper. In no circumstances should you collect your child
without telling the leader that you have done so.

We know that God created us to be in relationship with him, and to spend real

Our Kingdom Chasers and Shakers will be learning about various encounters the
people of the Bible have had with God, through worship, prayer, his word, and his
creation. We will go on a journey together to encounter God ourselves, whether it’s
for the first time or the latest of many. God is great because he loves us and wants
to be part of our daily lives!

Preparation of a leader
Waiting for your time to come
Struggling with the issue of vindication
Waiting for that prophetic word to be fulfilled
Wondering if your gift could ever be discovered
Why total forgiveness is so important to your future
If you work hard, you will succeed. That’s a
message that our culture tells us all the time,
and so often in the church we believe it as
well. Pelagius was a British monk in Rome
in the fourth century who said that if we all
tried a bit harder, we would become more
holy and get close to God. Is that the way it
works? St Augustine didn’t think so, and this
seminar will explain why.
The heresy known as Marcionism is based
on the belief that the character and
teachings of Jesus do not fit with the God
of the Old Testament. If wrath, anger, and
ruthlessness are evident in the actions of
God in the Old Testament, surely this God
cannot be the same as Jesus, who lived and
spoke of love, kindness and mercy? This
session will uncover why we need the Old
Testament, and how the whole Bible reveals
the same God to us.
What’s a Nice God Like You Doing
in a Place Like This?
Tuesday
Jane Williams
Knowledge is Everything
Thursday
Sara Schumacher and Jane Williams
Some of the most persistent heresies are
Docetism and Arianism. One – Docetism –
denies that Jesus was really a human being.
He did miracles, he offered forgiveness of
sins, he was raised from the dead, and he
saves us. Surely all of this suggests that the
most important things we need to say about
Jesus are not about his humanity but about
his divinity. The other – Arianism – suggests
that Jesus was a bit like God and a bit like
us, but not exactly either. So this session will
explore why everything we believe about
the saving work of God in Christ collapses if
he wasn’t as human as you and me, and as
divine as God the Father.
The heretics who concentrated on faith
being all about knowledge are usually called
‘Gnostics’. If Jesus is really the revelation
of God’s truth, we have to discover why
God chose to share that truth not just as
‘knowledge’, but as a human life lived and
a call to follow. What does it do to our
understanding of God and of ourselves if we
think of faith as essentially about knowing
all the right things and having all the right
answers? How does our physicalness form
and shape how we live and act
as Christians?

are often plagued by dissatisfaction,
exhaustion and frustration. The way out of
perfectionism, begins with a change of heart
about the problem itself. Find grace and
a liberated worldview in this seminar.
We all worry form time to time,
but some people find that worry has
become a permanent feature of their mental
landscape. Trying to simply ‘stop worrying’
is not possible for the majority of persistent
worriers, but there is hope and liberation
through a combination of psychological and
spiritual tools and insights.
Introducing Mindfulness for Christians
Wednesday
Shaun Lambert
Mindfulness is our universal human capacity
for awareness and attention and practice of
it is growing exponentially in our culture. In
this seminar, we will learn about the Christian
distinctive of the mindfulness of God – as well
as mindfulness for health in psychology.
Liberation from Guilt
Monday
Many people are paralysed with guilt. Guilt
robs them of their freedom, peace and joy.
It can make a person feel unacceptable or
isolated. Jesus’ forgiveness is the ultimate
remedy for guilt, but even for those who
believe, guilty feelings can still present
a lingering problem. This talk aims to
differentiate between our true guilt, for
which forgiveness is needed, and false guilt,
for which a psychological approach will help.
Practising Mindfulness for Christians
Thursday
Shaun Lambert
Biblical scholars recognise the gospel is an

Is Jesus a Feminist?
Wednesday
Georgi Sheaf and Shelley Hartland
’Feminism’ can feel like a dirty word for
some Christians. In the church it seems we
rarely hear a woman identifying herself
as a feminist, let alone Jesus as one. In this
seminar, hosted by Women in Leadership
Network London, we look to define the term
‘Feminism’ and ask a panel of men
and women: is Jesus a feminist? We’ll
grapple with how we engage with issues
of gender equality. Join us for this unique
conversation on one of the Church’s
hottest topics.

Thursday
Ralph Crathorne and Mike Carson
Fast paced man-to-man leadership lessons
from the front line of the SAS to the goal
line of professional sport. Prepare to relish
challenge, thrive in risk and inspire others
with a compelling view of life in all its
fullness.
Some follow. Some reject. Some can’t decide.
If the gospel is good news, why are so many
put off? Jesus claims to be the only way to
the Father and in the process becomes a
hindrance to so many who might otherwise
want to know God. Our multi-faith pluralistic
world demands less exclusivity, so how do
we respond?
Exploring the Remarkable Call of God
Wednesday
Graham Tomlin and Martin Breadmore
Explore ten practical ways to empower
creativity in your everyday life.
How do we encounter the fresh call of God
on our lives? What does the Bible teach us
about the surprising ways in which this can
happen, as God leads us to serve his purposes
in the church and the world, including
ordination? This seminar will help you
explore the unique ways the Holy Spirit has
equipped you to serve.

of living or the safety of existing? We’ll look
at principles to maximise your calling and
not waste your life.

Thursday, Q&A Panel
Amy and Frog Orr-Ewing,
Simon Edwards
Sometimes when we pray,
nothing appears to change.
The Bible tells us that God
hears our prayers and loves
to answer them, so why
does he sometimes seem
to be silent? In this session
we will look at how we can
understand the times of
silence, and keep hoping
when God doesn’t intervene.
In the Old Testament God
commanded various wars.
In some of these he appears
to have condoned the
wiping out of entire groups
of people. Is God genocidal?
In this session we will look at
how we can understand war
in the Old Testament.
Many of us carry big
questions around with
us, about how our faith
fits in with the world
around us. This is an
opportunity to come and
ask your questions to our
panel of apologists, and
to be encouraged in the
confidence that we can have
in our faith.

Your Relationship and the Future
Wednesday
Getting ready to date positively, is about
developing an awareness of your real
intentions and ambitions, and an ability
to express who you really are as a person.
This seminar helps you to ask the
questions (and offers some answers) that
will have the biggest impact on you both
being and finding a successful date.
How do you know if your date has
relationship potential? How can you know
if your relationship has a future? This
seminar helps you to discern the way
ahead and also gives some insights into
how to respond if things are not moving in
a positive direction.
Out of Hours: ‘Date My Mate’ Event
Wednesday
Out Of Focus – Queen Vic Pub
How to Date Well
Tuesday
Regardless of the setting, a good date
depends on connection, chemistry and
character. This seminar helps you to foster
good connection, identify good chemistry
and value good character.
You’re a single Christian and you bring
a mate who is a single Christian of the
opposite sex, who you don’t want to date
but someone else might like to. Couples
rotate throughout the venue spending
4 minutes introducing each other to a
succession of other couples for an hour.
The second hour is a general social mingle.
First choice matches are given a free glass
of bubbly.
Secular historians accept
that a carpenter from
Nazareth named Jesus
(called the Christ) did
exist and was crucified.
This session will explore
the historical case for
the resurrection of Jesus
Christ, through the eyes of a
sceptical former lawyer.

life for good. Are you up for the challenge?
Does being a Christian automatically mean we

Speaking from twenty years’ experience of
post-abortion counselling, Jonathan will look at
the issue from an unusual pastoral perspective.
