Zeitgeist - 20-27 July 2025
Description: Why are our times so polarised and angry? This course will help us understand key shifts in Western culture over the last century. We will then ask what we should expect when we pray, “Your Kingdom come, your will be done”. These two perspectives will help us see and experience why the Christian message is good news. Drawing on the book, “Rumours of a Better Country”, the course will provide some tools to explain to our non-Christian friends why Christianity is worth investigating.
