At Word Alive (9th- 14th April 2022) you can know the wonder of God speaking to you, changing and equipping you for all of life, while having time to relax and enjoy time together. It is a holiday away with your CU or Network but as part of the wider Church.
As part of Word Alive 2022, there will be a unique Politics and Law Network track partnering with our friends over at CARE.
We are thrilled to be working with CARE to examine our Biblical foundations, the need for Christian engagement in the public square, and how we might tell a distinctive and better story with Jesus at the centre. Amidst the 'culture wars' and competing visions of the common good, it is essential that we think Biblically about how we might contribute faithfully to these debates and serve God and neighbour in our participation in the political life of our nation. Steeped in theology, history, and current policy debates, this seminar track will challenge and encourage us in equal measure as we seek to be faithful witnesses in British politics.
If you're a Politics student or someone hoping to go into the public square after your graduate, then the joint Politics and Law Network track is a must for you! It will help you to think about how to engage with the big political questions and how to live as a faithful Christian, in the political context, both now and in the future. You will have the opportunity to meet other likeminded people (both students and those working in public service) and help you think about how you will transition into the working world.
Each day there will be a seminar filled with opportunities to receive teaching, ask questions and have discussions. On top of that, there are discussion groups each day where you meet as a smaller group to think about what you have heard, discuss it, share challenges and pray together.
The cost of a place is £140 per person.
We hope you can join us. Please do book your place with your CU. We don't want money to be a barrier to people receiving this training and teaching and so would love to offer you the opportunity to apply for a bursary. You will need to fill out all the sections of this form https://forms.office.com/r/D54veRT5Yx (it should take less than 10 minutes) and it will be submitted to Tom Kendall, the Politics Network Coordinator.
Please note: If you attend Word Alive with a Network bursary we ask that you attend that Network track and the Network discussion groups. If you have any questions, please get in touch with your Network Coordinator via the relevant website.
We will be processing bursaries in three rounds. The deadlines for each round are listed below. You can expect to receive payment roughly two to three weeks after the deadline.
Deadline 1: 03/12/2021
Deadline 2: 04/02/2022
Deadline 3: 25/03/2022
