Join us for the Alf Stanway Lecture in Mission on Wednesday 22 March 2023. Steve McApline is the guest speaker. The title for this lecture is:

A Less Straight Forward Future

An Exploration of the Church and its Mission

Tim Keller has recently suggested that the decline of the church in the West may not be as inevitable as many suppose. This lecture will explore the current pressures facing people both of faith and of no faith, and what hope this might give the church for its future.
