Sunday 10th April - Brunswick, the Gospel and Church (Cat Patrick, 2:30pm)

Due to popular demand, we've decided to run 'Brunswick, the Gospel and Church' again, instead of 'Missional imagination' on 10th April. (Although exercising our imagination is fantastic, and we'll come back to this again later in the year!)


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.

Speaker:
Cat Patrick is on the Ministry team at St Jude's in Parkville and has nearly completed a Masters of Divinity at Ridley Melbourne. She has lived in Brunswick for 9 years, and last year undertook a project exploring the sub-culture of Brunswick - particularly observing the key symbols, myths and narratives along Sydney Road.


Please note the later than usual start time, 2:30pm.
