Cambridge Apologetics Summer Conference

Date and location

You are warmly invited to the Cambridge Apologetics conference which will take place on Friday and Saturday, 30 June - 1 July at St John's College Old Divinity School and the Round Church, Cambridge. Coffee and a sandwich lunch will be provided on both days.

The conference will run from 9:30am - 5pm both days.

Topic:

What does it mean for us to communicate the gospel effectively and persuasively in today’s cultural moment? How might we meet people in their questions and interests, and draw them with us to appreciate the person and work of Christ?

The 2023 Cambridge Apologetics conference brings together an experienced group of speakers and apologists to engage and equip Christians in the city:

• Considering the questions people are actually asking

• Preparing to give a defence for the hope that we have

• Thinking creatively about the opportunities presented within our culture

The gathering spans two days and you can sign up for either or both of them, depending on your availability. Day 1 (Friday) will focus on the different opportunities afforded by hospitality, personal dialogue, the arts, and academia, with teaching from Peter Williams, Andrew Fellows, Tony Watkins, and others. Day 2 (Saturday) will consider specific topics of contemporary interest, with teaching from John Lennox, Glynn Harrison, Andrew Fellows, Tony Watkins, and others. More details and programme to follow.

Speakers include:

John Lennox is a world renowned author and speaker, mathematician, philosopher of science and Emeritus Professor at the University of Oxford.
