Mark Roques: “Celebrity, theology & Mission”

How can conversations about Paris Hilton and Russell Brand help us to do mission and discipleship? Can we connect the world of celebrity culture to theology and the gospel story? Does Jesus have anything to say to Simon Cowell and Rihanna?

He delivers courses to Readers, Pastoral Workers and evangelists and is a tutor for York St John University.
