But what is the relationship between life in heaven and life in outer space? Lucas Mix will talk about the history of ascent narratives\, tales of journeying into the heavens\, both scientific and spiritual – from Plato to Carl Sagan and The Expanse. For centuries\, physical and spiritual “up” were aligned in the popular imagination. Astronomy and biology have revealed more complex – but no less Biblical – models for the place and direction of life in the cosmos. Come find out more about the stories we tell and why they matter for the future of humanity. \nAttending in person\, the cost is £8.00\, including continental breakfast available from 9.30am\, and mid-morning refreshments; students: £5 ; under 18s free.

Those conversations involve the disciplines of listening as well as conversing\, thinking as well as feeling (faith has its various moods!) and writing as well as reading. Through engaging in our own conversations with God\, and learning from wider conversations about God\, we can grow in what Prof. Ford calls ‘doing theology for God’s sake’.

Reflecting on his experience in Bradford and more widely\, Bishop Toby will share some biblical and other theological resources that he has picked up along the way\, including ways in which these friendships and other engagements have enriched his own faith. \nCost:  £6.00  including mid-morning refreshments (Covid 19 guidance allowing); students: £5; under 18s free.

How do we come to know it? Is it possible to make sense of our experience in a way that honours both God and science? Mark Powley will share the fruits of ten years of PhD research on the presence of God in worship. There will be an opportunity to consider the ‘signs of God’ in our own lives. The session will also look at how we as human beings enable and shape experiences of God’s presence. Ultimately the presence of God is not the experience of a thing\, but a rich process of partnership in which each of us plays a role. As we regather after lockdown\, this may help us be more aware of how we need each other if we are to seek Gods face. \nCost:  £8.00 per session\, including continental breakfast available from 9.30 am and mid-morning refreshments (Covid 19 guidance allowing);  \nstudents: £5 per lecture;  \nunder 18s free.  \nFees payable preferably in advance by the online booking system Eventbrite or on the day by contactless card or cheque (to Harrogate School of Theology and Mission).\nZoom live-stream of lectures: £5 per person\, bookable via Eventbrite.

The development and empowering of others certainly seems to have been a top priority for Jesus and those who followed after him. With particular reference to his example\, in this session we will unpack the NT leadership emphasis on growing others in discipleship and ministry\, and explore what this might mean for us today.

Malcolm will look at how Shakespeare’s account of the poetic\nimagination in a Midsummer Night’s Dream borrows strongly from the language about incarnation in\nJohn’s Gospel. After developing some of the parallels between the unique mystery of the incarnation\nand the continuous mysteries of human creativity and art\, Malcolm will then look at how a fresh\nencounter with the Doctrine of Christ as Logos became central for Coleridge and led him to a new\ntheology of imagination. Finally he will look at how Christian Faith clarified and deepened the\nimaginative life of some of the Oxford Inklings\, particularly CS Lewis. \nFor more information about Malcolm Guite\, go to “Our Speakers” URL:https://hstm.org.uk/event/2020-malcolm-guite/ LOCATION:On-line by zoom only CATEGORIES:Live Lectures ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hstm.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Screenshot-2019-08-14-at-12.38.39.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20201114T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20201114T113000 DTSTAMP:20260423T095524 CREATED:20200628T151324Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250421T062642Z UID:509-1605348000-1605353400@hstm.org.uk SUMMARY:Tim Gordon "The changing song of the sea: despair\, faith and hope in an age of environmental destruction" DESCRIPTION:This will be live-streamed via Zoom\, starting at 10am.

The DVD is 50 minutes and we plan to allow 30 minutes for discussion in break out groups\, finishing at 11.30 am.\n \nFor this second Seminar we will be making a small charge of £2 per household. \nIt will be essential for participants(households) to book in advance through Eventbrite. \nWe will e-mail the Zoom link\, DVD outline and discussion questions a couple of days before the Seminar to those who have booked. \nPlease get in touch via info@hstm.org.uk if you have any questions URL:https://hstm.org.uk/event/bibletrack-seminar-st-pauls-letters-part-1-dr-chris-tilling-dvd-facilitated-discussion/ LOCATION:Mowbray Community Church\, Westmoreland Street\, Harrogate\, HG1 5AT\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Seminars END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20200912T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20200912T130000 DTSTAMP:20260423T095524 CREATED:20190723T122918Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250421T062724Z UID:436-1599908400-1599915600@hstm.org.uk SUMMARY:Bibletrack seminar "St Paul’s Letters part 1" Dr Chris Tilling (DVD & facilitated discussion) DESCRIPTION:We have been carefully planning the best way to deliver our Events during the Covid crisis. We are delighted to offer you the option of attending our first Event either in-person at the Mowbray Community Church\, or on-line\, via Zoom. There is a full Risk Assessment in place\, which anyone is welcome to see\, if they want to check in advance the measures we have put in place for attendance in person. \nThe first Seminar will inevitably be a “trial run” to allow us to check and fine tune the technology. There will therefore be no charge for this particular seminar. \nIt will\, however be essential for participants to book in advance through Eventbrite. \nEach link will take you to the relevant Eventbrite Booking Line where you will be asked to confirm the number of people attending with you (including you)\, and to provide an email address for booking confirmation and to receive essential information\, specific to your attendance choice nearer to the date of the Event.

He will be speaking on ‘The spiritual and moral imperatives in the life of Christ’. \nIn the Gospel of Luke Jesus says fourteen times ‘It behoves me…’ He talks explicitly about the moral and spiritual imperatives under which he lives and dies. In an age that is at sea about what is right and wrong can these imperatives be applied to our own lives? \n\nBecause of the personal nature of some of his lecture and the likelihood that the main content will form part of a new book\, there is no recording of his lecture available on our website.\n \n\nBishop James Jones has been in contact to say he found his engagement both with the Harrogate School of Theology and the students on the St Hild Easter School very stimulating. He has now published on his website the main part of his lecture from January on ‘The spiritual and moral imperatives in the life of Christ’. He also used the material for the St Hild College Easter School. You will find his lecture at http://bishopjamesjones.com/speeches/harrogate_school_of_theology.pdf and we hope that you will find the text a stimulus during these difficult times.

Growing Church in Luke and Acts" DESCRIPTION:In Jesus’ lifetime\, people met him face to face\, and he gathered around him a community of Jewish men and women who thought he was the one to redeem Israel. Today we use the language of ‘meeting Jesus’ and of growing the church (community)\, but mean something a little different –  meeting Jesus in a non-physical way\, and a community made up of people from every nation and culture. In this lecture we will see how Luke and Acts together achieve this transformation\, and present a Jesus who meets everyone ‘today’\, and how Jesus’ community breaks boundaries. Come and engage with what the bible says about conversion\, response and the call to abandon our comfort for the sake of those that Jesus is saving – if you dare!

She will be speaking on “To read\, mark\, learn and inwardly digest: some reflections on a diet of Biblical Interpretation.” \nThe Bible is the foundation of our faith\, and we probably have our favourite bits\, but what about the parts we don’t understand\, or don’t agree with? If it’s all the Word of God how do we navigate its terrain? In this lecture\, Bishop Helen-Ann will share some of her own reflections on a number of years pondering these questions and help us to reflect positively on how we can live faithfully with Scripture in our present context. \nBishop Helen-Ann is an able communicator and her lecture will be very accessible as well as challenging us to consider how we use scripture.

DESCRIPTION:It might seem quite straightforward – Jesus said what he is reported as saying in the Gospels. At one level this is true. At another\, however\, things may be rather more complicated. A significant complicating factor is that\, for more than a century\, most scholars have suspected the existence of an entity known as Q. This Q is a hypothetical source that many scholars believe was copied by the authors of Matthew’s and Luke’s Gospels. If Q existed then\, by definition\, it predates those Gospels – so it might provide an even more accurate account what Jesus said\, and what the first Christians believed about him\, than the Gospels do. This could be significant because Q\, as commonly understood\, doesn’t include an account of Jesus’ death or resurrection. \n  \nBut does the Q theory rest on a firm foundation? In this morning’s live lecture Alan Garrow will show that the idea of Q\, as traditionally conceived\, rests on two simple logical errors. And\, when these errors are corrected\, a very different picture of the relationship between the Gospels starts to take shape: the traditional Q theory collapses; previously overlooked pre-Gospel sayings of Jesus come to light; and Luke’s Gospel emerges as a particular source of insight into ‘what Jesus really said’.
