St John's College, Durham

At the recent Get A Grip conference in Durham, a group of enthusiastic church leaders and members listened to David Wilkinson, Dave Burke, Richard Briggs, Kate Bruce, and Krish Kandiah as they delved into the Bible to tackle those difficult parts of the Bible which have often been ignored. Killing in the Old Testament, creation and evolution and preaching in the 21st century were all covered.  We received some wonderful feedback and were encouraged that people had found the day so useful.

We have a selection of recordings from the day for you to enjoy. (Please note you will need to turn the volume of your computer up)

Luke Walton, arts manager at Bible Society commented

We hope that this project will help people, once again, value the Bible. Making a connection with the text helps us both to appreciate its role in our own culture, history and politics, and it can enrich our lives personally.
