Track 5: Yes, but... do we have to abandon 'attractional church' if we want to be 'missional'? - Facilitator: John Risbridger
An opportunity for those of us committed to more conventional models of church to explore both what we can learn from, and what may trouble us about 'missional' models. John Risbridger is one of the ministers at Above Bar Church, and spent ten years working with students with UCCF
Track 6: Movies for God's sake - Facilitator: Tony Watkins
The movies give us one of our greatest opportunities to connect with our culture - but how? Tony Watkins is the author of 'Focus: the art and soul of cinema,' and is widely known as a writer and speaker on engaging with contemporary culture. He has lost count of how many movies he has watched.
