Flourishing in Diversity

A five-week course exploring how every nation, tribe, people and language can stand together.
Tuesday evenings – 29 September, 6, 13, 20 & 27 October

What does it mean that we have dozens of other languages in our church when we can all speak English? What difference does it make that the Old Testament was written in ancient Hebrew and the New in Classical Greek, neither of which I know? Don’t we only have so many languages today because of God’s judgement at Babel? 

This autumn we will stand together as a community from many nations, tribes, people and languages to consider these and similar questions. If other languages feel like barriers to you, come and discover how they can instead be gateways to growth, both for you personally and for us as a community. 

The sessions will be led by Tim F Nash.
