What is it to be Human? 

In the final episode of this series of the Keswick Convention Podcast, we talk with different speakers about how we can embrace our humanity, our finitude and our limitations in a way that honours Christ - and the local church.

Join us as we sit down and chat with a variety of speakers ahead of the 2023 Keswick Convention looking at the theme of Human.

What do we mean when we use the word 'race'? How can the church encourage unity and welcome for all? What was going on with the Tower of Babel?

In this episode, we explore the amazing theology of race and ethnicity and discuss how the Bible speaks to our understanding of a global church made in God's image. No matter what our culture and ethnicity, Jesus affirms the uniqueness of our race, language and who we are.

We're joined by Rev Dr Israel Olofinjana (Director of the One People Commission of the Evangelical Alliance), Efrem Buckle (Deputy CEO and Director of Training and Mentoring at London City Mission, and Ruth Naomi Floyd (Jazz vocalist and composer) all of whom will be at Keswick Convention 2023 in the summer.

What is imagination? To what extent does our imagination vary? How does imagination impact our creativity and why is this so important to being human?

Whether you see yourself as a great artist or you've never picked up a paintbrush, this episode is worth a listen! We delve into how our God is a creative God but how our creativity also makes us unique as human beings. Whatever your calling, you will use imagination and creativity in your everyday.

We're excited to be joined by some creative guests for this episode including Ted Turnau (Chair of Journalism and Media Studies at Anglo-American University Prague), Ruth Naomi Floyd (Jazz vocalist and composer), and Efrem Buckle (Deputy CEO and Director of Training and Mentoring at London City Mission).
