In today's increasingly multi-faith Britain, the church faces great challenges
to remain effective in being Good News to their neighbours. Multi-ethnic and ethnic-minority
churches often face especially great challenges with rapidly changing communities.
Striking a balance between promoting a strong, positive self-identity and
remaining relevant beyond the church congregation is difficult.
In his highly insightful way, Steve Bell, author of 'Friendship First' (2001), 'Grace for Muslims' (2007)
and 'Gospel for Muslims' (2011) addresses the subject of "Being Good News To Muslim Neighbours".
The conference aims to challenge us church members and leaders to love our neighbours by looking beyond our
walls to see how we can bless the neighbours God has blessed us with.
To provide practical training on understanding our neighbours of different faiths and cultures and to share encouraging
good practice stories from similar communities around the UK.
