“Window on
the World” is a holiday conference organised by the European
Region of the Council for World Mission. The conference
gives the opportunity for Christians of all ages meet
together with the world church, learn more about God’s
mission and to grow in faith. Challenging theme talks,
lively and creative worship, outdoor activities, sports and
entertainment all contribute towards making a Window on the
World experience.
“Window on
the World” in 2009 is from 10th-16th
August at The Urdd Centre, Llangrannog. The 2009 theme is
“take home the good news,” with Revd Lawrence Moore,
Director of the Windermere Centre as the keynote speaker.
The conference will reflect on what is the good news we are
invited to share? Why are Christians often reluctant to
share the good news and how can we share our faith with
people whilst remaining a good neighbour? Lawrence who
studied in South Africa with David Bosch and whose centre
exists to ‘help the church discover its mission’ will lead
the conference to consider these questions and more.
Worship at
the conference will be led by Terry MacArthur who was a
worship consultant to the World Council of Churches and is
currently Director of Music to the English speaking Lutheran
Church in Geneva. ‘Almost Eliott’ a West Country Christian
band will also be leading worship at the conference, to help
things go with a swing.
The Urdd
Centre, Llangrannog, provides full conference facilities,
restaurant, a leisure centre, heated indoor swimming pool
and a whole range of outdoor activities, including pony
trekking, skiing, archery etc.
