Brunswick is a fascinating neighbourhood - hugely multi-cultural, diverse, self-expressive, edgy and undergoing gentrification. This seminar will begin to explore some of the loves, fears and ambitions of the Brunswick sub-culture - particularly seen in the key symbols and cultural narratives along Sydney Road. We'll think about how the Gospel is good news in this particular settings - recognising both the alignment and clash of Biblical values with this culture. We'll also discuss what it might look like to be a culturally engaged Christian community in this inner-city setting.
Even if you are not from Brunswick, come along to learn and see how these observations might apply in your own locality.
