Everything: London 2011 Image One

Everything Conference 2011

From the very start, our call as people made in the image of God has been to cultivate, protect, take care of, and bring order to God’s creation. We have been tasked with bringing out the beauty in all God has made, working together for the common good.

The outworking of this call will look different for each of us, as we learn to engage with the specific setting in which we find ourselves.

It begins with understanding that God is interested in all that we do. He does not simply have an agenda for our church life, but for our work, our relationships, and our involvement in our neighbourhoods.

‘The Earth is the Lord’s and everything in it.’ (Psalm 24:1)

I was thrilled to see such a large uptake for our first Everything conference in March 2010. Over 1,000 people gathered in London and Leeds to take up the baton and strive to be salt and light wherever God has placed them.

It is our hope that this conference will continue to grow and prove to be a great encouragement to many to give themselves to work for the common good and develop the best of creation. Consequently, Everything 2011 will be held at the prestigious Queen Elizebeth II Conference Centre in Westminster, opposite Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament on 26 March 2011. Andy Crouch, author of Culture Making has agreed to join us as our keynote speaker. Andy is an extremely engaging writer and speaker, and his book has been formative for many of us as we’ve thought through our call to renew culture.

So save the date, and keep your eyes open for more details. There are no well worn paths ahead…..
