Knowing what we believe about God, people and life in the world around us and why we believe it is vital because our theology and Christian doctrine shapes and influences how and why we live the way we do. As believers, living in an ever rapidly changing world, we need to know how to allow our theology to empower us to think through the ethical and moral issues in society and be able to communicate and share our theology with non-believers in a healthy non-judgemental or mean spirited way. We could call this “conversational theology”. This is your invitation to this exciting brand new 7 week course.

Topics include:
