Christ in the Stranger: HeartEdge Conference
The foundational conviction of HeartEdge is that God gives us everything we need but we need to be willing to receive it in the form in which God sends it. Matthew 25 and Luke 10 show us some of the forms in which God sends it – and both refer explicitly to the stranger.
The conference will focus on how congregations can most appropriately receive the gifts of God in the stranger and how in particular they may respond to the Christian-influenced voices in this country expressing hostility to migrants today.
This HeartEdge event, headlined by Rt Revd. Guli Francis-Dehqani, Bishop of Chelmsford and Revd Dr. Sam Wells, vicar of St Martin-in-the-Fields provides an opportunity to consider how we might bring a vision of hope to the communities we are part of. The day will bring together a range of people leading us in practical on the ground workshops
