John Milton: Pre-eminence Lost?

Sun, 06 Jan 2008 15:20:40 +0000

Monday September 22nd

6.45pm at LICC

With Lance Pierson

Milton’s address to the Holy Spirit from the opening to Paradise Lost, Book one:

‘Thou from the first
Wast present, and with mighty wings outspread
Dove-like satst brooding on the vast Abyss
And mad'st it pregnant: What in me is dark
Illumine, what is low raise and support;
That to the highth of this great Argument
I may assert th' Eternal Providence,
And justifie the wayes of God to men.’

This evening will be a celebration of Milton’s poetry to mark the 400th anniversary of his birth. Until the Twentieth Century, Milton was accepted as the second greatest poet in the English language, eclipsed only by Shakespeare. Today he is seldom read despite his influence on J R R Tolkien, Philip Pullman and even Harry Potter.

Anointed for the Marketplace – Kingdom Dynamics for the World of Work and Business

Sun, 06 Jan 2008 15:19:46 +0000

4th -5th October 2008, LICC Manchester

A worldwide movement of Christians is re-discovering the vocational call to business and a specific ‘anointing for business’ that seeks the transformation of society, not just economically, socially and culturally, but spiritually too as the church renews its kingdom purposes in the 21st Century.

Join Charles McLachlan of ‘Transformation Anointing’ for this 2 day course and discover how business can be a powerful tool through which you can serve God to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to colleagues, companies, cities and whole nations.

Combining teaching, prayer, fellowship, Bible study, group exercises and individual work, the course emphasis is on offering the tools and the space for participants to hear God’s voice for them personally and to respond in thought, prayer, word and deed.

Encouraging missionary discipleship

Sun, 06 Jan 2008 15:19:26 +0000

Thursday 9 October, 2008 - Baptist House, Didcot

What’s the aim of this day?

We want to stimulate our imagination for the journey of Christian growth and missionary discipleship in today’s
rapidly changing culture and recognise that this call is often a significant challenge to the way we do life in our
churches. So this is a day where we can explore the implications of 21st century disciple-making for church
communities - particularly for the role of leaders - with a view to sketching out some possible ways forward in
the light of the key issues that arise.
