Livabilty event - 'We don't do God': keeping faith in your community project, Leeds, 3rd February 2010

 

 

Why do some Christian organisations lose their edge?

Does receiving secular funding always dilute spiritual purposes?

Are there community projects that have kept the flame burning?

 

"We don't do God…"

 

Keeping faith in your community project

 

 

 

This interactive and fun day will help you reconnect your work to your deepest

convictions and begin to integrate a down-to-earth theology into your frontline work

 

 

 

The day will include:

 

ü      Practical Ideas to help you and your team think theologically about your community work and integrate faith in your day to day work

 

ü      Examples of community projects that have not lost an active Christian faith

 

ü      Seeing success through Christ's eyes, rather than funders' monitoring forms

 

ü      The chance to be stimulated by new ideas and learn from your peers

 

Facilitators:

David Arscott, Ruth Smith and Jon Kuhrt from Livability's Community Mission team.  They work with a wide range of churches and Christian projects wrestling with these issues and bring experience and reflection sharpened by engagement and lively debate.
