SUMMARY:A morning with Dr David Bennett
DESCRIPTION:We’re delighted that David Bennett will be joining us for a morning of thought-provoking teaching and discussion. \n\n\n\nDavid is an author\, speaker\, and theologian scholar who speaks and writes on a wide range of topics including theology\, desire\, beauty\, gender\, theodicy\, suffering\, ethics\, and sexuality. He is frequently asked to appear and speak internationally in a variety of settings including churches\, academic conferences\, national radio and TV. As a gay celibate Christian\, he seeks to be a fresh voice on the topics of love\, holiness\, desire and sexuality in order to show how people can live and flourish through Christ’s cross-shaped teaching. He is passionate about equipping the Church to better love the LGBTQI+ and other minority communities\, and the art of showing solidarity to those who are different or other to us. \n\n\n\nHis bestselling book A War of Loves (Zondervan\, 2018) describes his own story of encountering the love of God and meeting the person of Jesus in a pub in the gay quarter of Sydney. He recounts the story of a life of atheistic gay activism to becoming a follower of Jesus\, in which he advocates for a positive moral vision of biblical sexuality and discipleship. \n\n\n\nThe morning will be followed by a light lunch.
