Conversations in Public Theology

Conversations in Public Theology is a NEW section of the Alliance website. It will address the 100 recommendations of the Faith and Nation report.

Each of the articles listed below explores one or more of the recommendations of the Faith and Nation report, and sets out how that recommendation might be implemented practically.

The purpose of the articles is not to expound or summarise the recommendation or the relevant section of the report. Rather, their purpose is to give concrete examples of how the recommendation has been implemented or could be implemented by individuals, churches or organisations linked to the Evangelical Alliance.

Our aim in all this is to stimulate thinking and practice, so that alltogether we can continue to change society for the glory of God.
