The role of God as creator will come under the spot light in a rural seminar this week. Creation theology and its relationship to today’s rural and environmental issues will be discussed at the event at the Royal Welsh Showground.
The seminar, chaired by the Bishop of Swansea and Brecon, John Davies, is the latest in the Church in Wales’ Rural Hub series, a programme of monthly events run in partnership with the Welsh Government and the Trustees of the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society (RWAS).
It will be led by Revd Canon Robin Morrison, former Church and Society adviser, who will take a fresh look at the Christian belief in God as creator and how science has changed and challenged that belief.
He said, “I want to take a very central Christian belief and show how it works in a post Copernican and post Darwinian world. There will also be a practical workshop to explore what we really want to communicate through our Christian services to people of all ages with a scientific outlook.
“It will be a chance to reflect on big ideas that really matter to our faith. It is an exciting time to be a Christian and to engage with these big questions about the Big Bang and the Big Birth.”
The Rural Hub seminar will take place on November 18, from 10.30-4pm at the Royal Welsh Showground at Llanelwedd.
