Teaching Day: Contagious Holiness + Contagious Unholiness

One Day, Two Events: holiness, unholiness, and their effects in Mark's Gospel

Tickets available for one or both sessions (£7.50-£20.70) and can be booked through Eventbrite

Dr Crispin Fletcher-Louis is an internationally recognised biblical scholar. Teaching is delivered in a conversational, practically-focused format.

Morning: Contagious Holiness. We consider one aspect of Jesus’ healing ministry in Mark's Gospel, namely his interaction with lepers and people who were considered impure in the first Jewish world.

Afternoon: Contagious UnHoliness. We consider the way Christ reveals forces that quench the power of God. One aspect of his ministry was to open the eyes of his followers to forces and the human thoughts, words and actions that grieve God and limit his presence.
