Cork Saturday 14th January (12.30 – 4.30pm). Ardfallen Methodist Church, Douglas Road, Cork

What’s it about?
One of the most difficult questions facing Christians today is; what is a right attitude toward money. Ireland has been through an economic rollercoaster over the past 30 years, from poverty to wealth and back again, and we have been left disillusioned and divided. As Irish Christians we need to ask ourselves; were we complicit?, were our attitudes and behavior any different from those of our neighbours?, and what should our response to the recession be?
Dr Craig Blomberg asks what the Bible has to say about these issues. Avoiding easy answers, he instead seeks a comprehensive biblical theology of possessions. An excellent line-up of Irish leaders will explore the practical issues we all face in the areas of finance and business.

Who is it for?
All Christians passionate about seeing God transform Irish society starting with them – whether church leader, stay at home mother, or business person.

  • Be inspired and challenged by Dr Craig Blomberg about a biblical attitude towards possessions and your own walk with God
  • Take part in discussion groups with Irish leaders who will share practical skills and knowledge
  • Build relationships with other Irish Christians over lunch and share your stories and experiences
  • Access resources and toolkits to help engage your church in mission

Main speaker
Dr. Craig Blomberg is currently a distinguished professor of New Testament at Denver Seminary, Colorado. Dr. Blomberg is a renowned scholar, speaker and author with more than 15 published books including; Jesus and the Gospels: An Introduction and Survey; and Neither Poverty nor Riches: A Biblical Theology of Possessions. He is also part of a church in Denver which is reaching out to the marginalized.
