Steve Chalke, Founding Director of Faithworks, says:
"Our task is to be an angled mirror – reflecting God to people and people to God. Every Christian faces two opposite dangers; to simply end up reflecting God back to himself, or on the other hand, people back to themselves."
The conference will also provide an excellent opportunity for delegates to network with seminar speakers, church and project leaders and other Christians who are looking for practical ways to improve the connection between their church and their community.
Care for the Family’s Rob Parsons and Jim Wallis of Call to Renewal, a U.S. movement to overcome poverty, had the following to say about their involvement in the Faithworks Conference:
"At Care for the Family we have witnessed community transformation as Christians apply their faith, practically meeting the real needs of those around them. The Faithworks Conference will enable you to explore how your faith can be applied in practical, life changing ways and that's why I'm excited to be a part of it."
Rob Parsons, Founder of Care for the Family
"Faithworks is an initiative whose time has come. It is a kindred spirit with Call to Renewal in the U.S., which is uniting the churches to overcome poverty. That's why I'm excited to be part of the Faithworks UK Conference team for October 2003."
Jim Wallis, Convenor of Call to Renewal
Discounted bookings for the Conference can be made before July 15th through www.faithworks.info/conference, or by calling 01325 437759.
