Spirituality, Scripture and Conflict
09.30am – 4.00pm Online
What can we learn from Scripture about Conflict and Change? Building on our foundation day, “Growing through Change and Conflict”, this material explores first an approach to Scripture rooted in God’s loving reconciliation in the world, and then secondly offers a way in to Bible Study rooted in “the remembered Bible”. Drawing on our own lived experience of life in our church or faith community, we continue to support all those in our churches and faith communities to be peacemakers in the spirit of the gospel.

Unconscious Bias Training
2.00 – 3.30pm Online
Hidden biases have the power to undermine and derail our desire to act justly and fairly towards other people, and in lots of areas in our decision making, for example, when it comes to recruitment, promotion, and openness to new sources of ideas. It is possible to be unconsciously biased regarding disability, religion, race, gender, age, social class, and more. This online session will include watching some videos and participating in small group conversation and reflection.
