CAREY WEEKLY NEWSLETTER 2023 S2 WEEK 16

Psalm 103:1-5

1Bless the Lord, my soul,
And all that is within me, bless His holy name.
2 Bless the Lord, my soul,
And do not forget any of His benefits;
3 Who pardons all your guilt,
Who heals all your diseases;
4 Who redeems your life from the pit,
Who crowns you with favor and compassion;
5 Who satisfies your years with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle.

It the end of the semester!

Whatever happened to missionary enthusiasm?

The 2023 Selwyn Lecture is being held Monday, 20 November from 6-7.20pm (finger foods and drinks from 5.15pm) and will be given by Professor Brian Stanley on the topic: “Whatever happened to missionary enthusiasm?: The transformation of Protestant globalism since the late nineteenth century.”

This lecture will not call for a return to now discredited models of foreign mission (as white-led enterprises), but instead will appeal for Christians from different contexts to explore together what a renewed theological focus on the universality of the Christian gospel might mean.

To register your interest, please email: h.edwards@stjohnscollege.ac.nz with the subject line, “Selwyn Lecture.”
