'The Greatest Secret': Rebooting Our Understanding of Discipleship
“The Common Good” is now a well-used – some might say well-worn – phrase. It is not, however, always clear how it is used or what it means. In the first of two lectures, Nick Spencer excavates the idea, explores how it is used today and then examines how it fits into the tradition of Anglican Social Thought and whether that tradition has anything particular to say to the idea today.
The Common Good is not simply a nice idea – it demands a response. But what might that look like and, in particular, what might an Anglican contribution to the Common Good look like? Building on the Lecture 1 looking at an Anglican understanding of the Common Good, and on Theos’ research programme over the last ten years, Nick Spencer explores what an Anglican contribution to the Common Good might look like.

Jeff represents the Diocese at regional and national level in any aspect of education.

Gareth Wallace is the Executive Director of the Conservative Christian Fellowship. The CCF builds relationships between the Christian world and the world of politics. It is a non-denominational Christian fellowship that inspires and equips believers to go into public life, seeking to be ‘Salt & Light’ in the Conservative Party. In this lecture, Gareth explores, through a political lens, how we can seek to improve the culture of our workplace to make it more kingdom-like. How can we ensure that even though some decisions made in the workplace may not be of benefit for all, our workplaces can adopt other patterns of behaviour and initiatives that seek to show a commitment to loving people created in God’s image.

Bishop of Winchester’s Lent Lectures 2017 Church Growth: Why it Matters and How it can Happen by Revd Dr David Goodhew Tuesday 21 March 2017 Session 2 How do we grow as Christians and as churches? ‘Church growth’ rightly raises many questions. Is it merely ‘an unspiritual bigging yourself up’ as one Cranmer Hall ordinand once said? ‘Growth’ in the Christian life always includes growth in personal Christlikeness and growth of service to the wider community, but the New Testament, the Christian tradition and the Anglican Communion outside the UK are deeply enthusiastic about the numerical growth of churches. So how can we think about growing churches in a godly, theologically nuanced way? And if we can create a theology of church growth, what specific practices help congregations grow? Or is church growth a holy mystery? During the two Lent Lectures we’ll work on a theology of church growth that could work for churches of all traditions and the actions that foster growing churches of all traditions.
