The Europe region of CWM facilitated a series of webinars aimed at creating spaces for CWM member Churches and ecumenical partners to reflect on CWM’s renewed emphasis around “Life-flourishing Communities, living out God’s promise of a New Heaven and a New Earth”.
Europe region worked on the strap-line ‘life-flourishing spaces’.
Its series of webinars started on 23rd November 2020 and lasted until 22nd March 2021.
In one of its Webinars on 22nd February 2021, a panel of speakers including David Jonathan, Director, GRASSROOTS Programme, were invited to reflect and respond to the question: ‘what would life-flourishing activism look like and mean?’
Europe Region Mission Secretary Revd Dr Michael Jagessar said, “We want to use this as an opportunity to critically explore some of the urgent issues before us and to also draw insights while exploring concrete ways that we can participate in, shape and grow life-flourishing spaces.”
With a view to keep the Webinar conversations insightful and energising, each of the speakers in the panel were asked to reflect on their personal faith journey and activism, its theological and faith under-girding sharing one theological paradigm-bible passage which is key to the activist heartbeat and why and finally asking each of the panelists to share what would they see-name as life flourishing activism/advocacy?
It was quite an enriching discussion. The recording of this webinar can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohgfBgaj-P8&feature=youtu.be
