Jonah and Ruth

“Jonah and Ruth As You’ve Never Seen Before”

We often assume that we already know all about Jonah and Ruth, there’s nothing new to learn. Don’t be too sure.

Do you know Jonah has a dark side that is so scary? And that Ruth is not even about love but something else that blows your mind away?

Join us to discover insights that are radically different from what you thought you knew.

He is the author of Feeding on Ashes, which offers a Christian response to Chinese ancestral worship.

The Rise of Catholicism and the Why of Denominations

The Medieval Church (AD 500-1500) deviated from the teachings of Christ and the Apostles, resulting in dogmas that conflicted with Scripture. The people were gripped by fear and superstition. God orchestrated a Reformation that resulted in the birth of many
denominations.

Discover the what, why and how of these events and movements.

Creation Care

Climate change… Global warming… What does the bible have to say? What did it mean for humanity to be given charge to “have dominion” and to “subdue”? How can the charge to stewardship and biblical text on the reconciliation of all creation in the final eschaton inform us on how to live out our faith practically, especially given the current environmental crises we face? How are we, as believers, to participate in this charge in a way faithful to the biblical text?

This course will explore the following: what the bible says about creation care, historical texts looking at how early believers perceived creation, and theological themes underpinning the concepts of dominion, stewardship and reconciliation.

Join us for a time of deep and lively discussions and practical sessions on the topic!

She is currently undertaking worship studies under the Robert E Webber Institute of Worship Studies, Jacksonville, Florida.
