“We don’t do God…”

Keeping faith in your community project

Why do some Christian organisations lose their edge?
Does receiving secular funding always dilute spiritual purposes?
Are there community projects that have kept the flame burning?

This interactive and fun day will help you reconnect your work to your deepest convictions and begin to integrate a down-to-earth theology into your frontline work

Date: Wednesday 12 May 2010
Time: 9.45am - 3.30pm - starting promptly at 10am
Cost: £30 per person including lunch to be paid on the day
Venue: Salvation Army International HQ, 101 Queen Victoria St, London, EC4V 4EH
Book: Contact Jill Clark on 020 7452 2018 or jclark@livability.org.uk

“I found it stimulating and thought-provoking. It was a good integration of input and discussion”
-Delegate who attended this event last month in Leeds

The day will include:

* Practical ideas to help you and your team think theologically about your community work and integrate faith in your day to day work
* Examples of community projects that have not lost an active Christian faith
* Seeing success through Christ’s eyes, rather than funders’ monitoring forms
* The chance to be stimulated by new ideas and learn from your peers

Our facilitators:
Adam Bonner, Hayley Teague, Jill Clark and Jon Kuhrt from Livability’s Community Mission team They work with a wide range of churches and Christian projects wrestling with these issues and bring experience and reflection sharpened by engagement and lively debate.

Directions to Salvation Army International HQ:

Please note that Blackfriars tube station is CLOSED (but Blackfriars rail station remains open) so your other tube station options are Mansion House and Cannon Street, both within a 10 minute walk. Bank station is also close, about a 15 minute walk. I would suggest using www.streetmap.co.uk and entering the postcode ‘EC4V 4EH’ to print a map. When you arrive, look for a large glass building on Queen Victoria Street. It is at the start of the walkway to the Millennium Bridge (the Tate Modern is on the other side of the river).
