Day: 7 August 2015

Church of Scotland Summer School, encouraging mission through the creation of new worshipping congregations.

The Map is not the Territory

Building upon our Summer School of 2015, the focus of our 2016 School will be on understanding, in a deep way, the contexts in which God has placed us. As in 2015 there will be an intentional emphasis on what this means for practice and what difference our understanding makes in the development of mission and fresh expressions of church in our parishes and presbyteries.

The title of Summer School 2016, The Map is not the Territory, reflects that our present understanding does not always correspond to reality. At the School, experienced practitioners and thinkers will help us engage with up to date research on our culture, Christian faith and mission and the critical implications of this for our practice.

From the feedback that we have received from 2015 delegates, one of the highlights was being a residential delegate as they got to interact with more people and were able to enjoy the event more without having to travel back and forth every day. 

Key speakers

Rachel Jordon, Michael Moynagh, Steve Aisthorpe

Cost

£300 residental / £175 non-residential.

One of a series of events encouraging mission through the creating of new worshipping congregations.

Going for Growth is a series of events run regionally by the Emerging Church Group of the Church of Scotland (a partnership between Ministries and Mission and Discipleship Councils), which encourage mission through the creation of new worshipping congregations. Over a period of three years events are being held in every region of Scotland. This year we are visiting Oban, Shetland and Linlithgow.

The events are run in two sessions: the afternoon session is by invitation to those with a Presbytery responsibility for Presbytery Planning, Mission, Training or Education. The evening session is open to anyone, and will explore some of the recent development, resources and initiatives in this area.

Cost

All the events are free, and booking is required for catering purposes. If you are planning to attend both sessions, or are travelling from a distance, you may also want to join us for a meal. Please indicate in your booking which sessions you plan to attend.

Although this is a FREE event – refreshments are provided – a £10.00 charge will be levied for any cancellations received after the booking deadline, or for no shows on the day, to cover the cost of the unused catering.

Venue

Linlithgow
