Why On Earth Do They Think That?
Saturday 22 June
If you sometimes feel confused by the way non-church friends respond when you talk about your Christian faith or they react as if you're from another planet, this study day at St Mary's Maidenhead, with Mark Meynell should help. It will explore why our culture has shifted away from centuries of Christian thought and trace the major influences on people's thinking. A day to broaden horizons, deepen understanding, and above all to grow in confidence in Jesus. 9.30-3.00 pm, tickets £5.
