as the keynote speaker speaking on being ‘Confident disciples in a turbulent world’. After coffee and cookies people chose between 4 seminars ‘Church planting in my backyard’ ‘Money and Mission do work’ ‘Growing the Church younger’ and ‘Going deeper in confident discipleship’
As folks left at lunchtime there were a chorus of requests for further such conferences, can we turn the culture of the Church in East London? During the Question-time session chaired by Andy Rider Dean of Mission and conference organiser, Bishop Joanne, Bishop of Stepney said she wanted to see a growing culture of hospitality and generosity across our 65 churches in East London. This conference typified and inspired just that.
