DISC 1 - Whole Life Discipleship
by Mark Greene, LICC Executive Director

DISC 2 - From Darkness to Light: lessons in disciple making from our great grandparents in Christ
by Martyn Atkins, Principal, Cliff College
Martyn contends for something straightforward yet challenging. Namely, that a crucial means by which authentic, mature disciples of Christ will be made in the west in the early 21st century will come through revisiting, revising and innovatively implementing the distinctive way of making disciples developed in the early centuries of Christianity.

DISC 3 - Spiritual Formation in our Emerging Culture
by Jason Clark, Co-ordinator, emergent-uk and Vineyard Church, Sutton
Jason suggests that if the church is to facilitate the formation of disciples in our emerging culture it cannot rely on standard growth practices but must develop new ways of understanding growth and enabling growth. Jason focuses on the need for holistic strategies and unpacks some of the experiments he has been involved in with the church he's planted.

DISC 4 - The Human Disciple
by Brian Draper, LICC Lecturer in Contemporary Culture
Human discipleship is not simply an academic exercise or an ecclesiological enterprise. It's only truly fleshed out, incarnated, through our complex network of relationships, with each other, the planet, ourselves and our God. A pioneer of the alternative worship movement Brian explores a vision for communities that long to become more fully human in Christ and to help others to start living life ...to the full.

by Jill Garrett, Director of Leadership Development, Caret
Jill presents results from a recent UK survey amongst the working population responding to the question, 'What would make you want to follow someone?' The results connect into sound Biblical principles for leadership today.
2. Disciple Making & Coaching: lessons from the marketplace
by Jill Garrett, Director of Leadership Development, Caret
Executive Coaching is a rapidly growing industry in the UK.

DISC 6 - Intentional Disciplemaking Church
by Jan McCuin, and the Navigators UK
This seminar is about the Navigator 'Intentional Disciplemaking Church' Process - a very practical process (not programme!) aimed at helping Churches create a conducive environment for 'whole-life' discipleship and disciplemaking. It's a new initiative and the Navigators are at the early stages of learning how to facilitate this process within local churches. 34 mins.
DISC 7 - Ephesians 4 Ministries and Spiritual Formation
by Greg Haslam, Senior Minister, Westminster Chapel
As we tackle this key question of helping God's people grow towards unity and maturity, helping them become equipped for the works he has prepared in advance for them to do, Greg explores how the five-fold ministries of Ephesians 4 set a radical agenda for building up the people of God. He emphasises that it's in the context of Christian unity that God intended for these ministries to function effectively.

DISC 8 - Imagine: how we can reach the UK
by Mark Greene, LICC Executive Director

Why is it that whole-life disciple making, helping people learn to live integrated, transformative lives of faith, is so crucial for mission in 21st century UK? This 2003 presentation of the Imagine thesis sets the context for the conference for those new to the Imagine Project.
