Workshop 1: A Clear and Present Word From God To Our Leaders

"A Clear and Present Word From God To Our Leaders"

Preaching prophetically to reach world and church leaders in a time of conflict

The workshop will begin with a presentation in three parts, each followed by a short period of specific questions and discussion:

1. sketching the biblical evidence in its context, with special attention to the role of Moses, Elijah, Jeremiah, Deutero-Isaiah, Paul (Romans, Ephesians), & the author of Revelation;
2. discerning the main features of the current global scene - 'the signs of the times', attempting to assess the nature and limits of American/Western political and cultural dominance and the impact of local/regional political and religious circumstances;
3. examining briefly case studies of preaching God's Word to civic or church leaders and the consequences:
   1. in Britain,
   2. in Singapore,
   3. in Australia.

The workshop will rely not only on the presentation input but the active involvement of all participants to frame some sort of checklist of the content and method of approach to preaching that aims to touch and support or challenge those entrusted with political leadership at any level of world society.
