Welcome to the Evangelical Alliance

Friday Night TheologyFriday Night Theology

Many of us spend our weekends talking about the events of the week with friends and family who aren't Christians. Friday Night Theology will provide a means by which Jesus can join in the discussion. Our underlying premise is that Jesus Christ is Lord of all, and so whatever has arisen this week in the world of politics, media, sport or culture, Jesus has something to say.

Our approach will be to provide comment on some 'event' of the week. The 'event' could be anything from a news item to a storyline in Coronation Street. It may be a piece of legislation that has been passed, or a new scientific discovery. Whatever it is, it will have happened this week.

We aim not so much to feed as to equip: to give you an insight into something that has happened that you can share with those you spend time with. At times the 'event' will have captured the headlines; at other times it will have hardly been noticed. Either way, you will have a tool that you can use to bring Jesus into the conversation.

A Partnership with Hope
Hope ’08 was significant in uniting churches but one of its challenges was to link with the ethnic group churches and the black majority church in the UK. That’s why I was thrilled when SAF wanted to partner with Hope going forward to 2014 , working together through words and actions. When we can embrace our diversity but focus our unity on the purposes of Christ and his mission, there God blesses as found in Psalm 133 and John 17. It is when we see the big picture of the Kingdom of God, that we are part of the same family, that God blesses communities.
