Reconciling Hope – a broken Church for a broken World

We began addressing our theme with an overview address on Monday evening on Reconciliation in a post-Covid world. This was followed by speakers focusing on:

  • Reconciling communities – being good news in fractured communities and society
  • Reconciling people with God – bringing the Good News (evangel) to a disbelieving world
  • Reconciliation with the earth – reconciling people to planet earth: the task of being good news to a world in climate emergency

Delegates also engaged with these themes in small groups.
