About this event

Many Presbyterians are involved in the public square in their work as teachers, healthcare workers, civil servants, other areas of the public sector, in business, science, the media… the list is endless. This is against a backdrop of a rapidly changing cultural and moral landscape that has become more challenging and complex.

This event will provide an opportunity for Presbyterians involved in the public square to be inspired and equipped as they seek to live as gospel people with gracious confidence in the spheres where God has placed them. The morning builds on the paper received by the General Assembly in 2021 from the Council for Public Affairs entitled ‘Graciously Confident Gospel Engagement in the Public Square – a framework of principles, postures and practices’.

Our keynote speaker is Dr Nathan Mladin, a senior researcher with Theos, a Christian think tank founded by the Bible Society. Dr Mladin is no stranger to PCI or Northern Ireland having completed both his Masters and PhD studies through Union Theological College.

The morning will include a panel discussion from those who do work, or have worked, in various ways in the public square as we unpack what engaging with gracious confidence means in practice. There will also be opportunity for discussion in small groups as we think about what this means for each of us in our congregations, workplaces, and communities.
