Jubilee
NATIONAL CONFERENCE
from Tuesday May 4th to Thursday May 6th 2010
(lunchtime to lunchtime)
at The Hayes Conference Centre, Swanwick, Derbys.

credit crunch, swine ‘flu, Afghanistan, Lockerbie bomber - what next, general election?

Is it important to address the news of the day from the pulpit? Isn’t the Bible enough?

Do we set the Gospel over against the news; or find the Gospel in the news?
How do we cope with so many sources of news?

Above all, how in preaching do we connect the news of the day with the Good News?

This will be a special conference. It’s an occasion to celebrate and rededicate our preaching. It may also be on the eve of a general election - which would make the subject matter especially appropriate! We’re gathering an interesting and knowledgeable team of speakers and preachers, including so far

Julia Bicknell, Revd Kate Bruce, Andrew Graystone, Revd Dr Leslie Griffiths, Revd Dr Jolyon Mitchell, Fran Unsworth, Revd Dr David Wilkinson,

BBC, News 24 and World Service Chaplain at St. John’s College, Durham Director of the Churches Media Council Chair of the College of Preachers School of Divinity, Edinburgh University Head of Newsgathering BBC Principal of St. John’s College, Durham
