Faith Conversations: Is God a Moral Monster? - Liam Thatcher

Sun Jun 02, 16.00 - 17.30

Many people struggle with the picture of God painted by the Old Testament, and consider Him to be wicked and unpleasant. In this talk, Liam will consider how Christians, who claim to worship a God of Love, ought to understand difficult passages in which God commands seemingly-immoral actions, such as slavery and genocide. 

Please note, Liam Thatcher will only be speaking at the 16.00 meeting. 

Introduction to ChristChurch London: II – Identifying my Contribution

Sun Jun 02, 13.30 - 15.00

We believe that God wants the best for this city, and we are committed to working out what it means to be a church that makes a difference in this context. If you’re new to ChristChurch London, you may have a load of questions about what we stand for, where we’re heading, and how you can get involved. This course will express what really matters for us as a church, and to help you make the most of your time here at ChristChurch London.

God has given each of us a unique combination of passions and abilities. In this second session we will consider how we can identify the things God has made us to do, and learn how to use our gifts the way He intended.  

This course will take place in the Queenhithe Room at the Mermaid Theatre, and will include some teaching, an opportunity to meet others, and plenty of time to ask questions. Book your place online.

Prof. Alister McGrath - God and the New Atheists

Sun Jun 02, 11.00 - 12.30

Surely belief in God is irrational and out-dated? Haven’t we moved beyond such superstitious ideas? Hasn’t science removed our need for a God? In recent years there have been a number of key thinkers who have argued that religion is indeed at best irrelevant, and at worst the cause of most of the evils in society. These thinkers have often been referred to as The New Atheists, and on Sunday 2 June, guest speaker Professor Alister McGrath will address some of their claims.

Professor McGrath is a much-sought-after writer and speaker, and has debated many of the world’s leading atheists, including Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett and the late Christopher Hitchens. He will examine some of their key arguments, and seek to demonstrate why Christianity provides compelling answers to their doubts and questions.

Please note, Professor McGrath will only speak at the 11.00 meeting.

Sun Jun 09, 11.00 - 12.30 & 16.00 - 17.30

In a world where many people consider belief in God to be irrelevant and out-dated, how can we keep our message fresh, such that it genuinely connects with people’s questions and felt needs? In this talk David Stroud will consider how we can adapt our message to ensure it is relevant for people in a twenty-first century secular society.
