“Throughout the centuries the Church of God has had both its devoted adherents who would die for it and its persecutors who have sought to destroy it. Thus both in love and in hatred men have reckoned with it seriously and have been compelled to think out their attitude towards it.” (Michael Ramsey)

At the Crosslands Winter Conference 2025 we’ll look “in love” at the identity of the church and think seriously about how it displays God’s glory. With John Stevens (National Director of FIEC), we’ll explore how the organisation of the church reflects our understanding of its purpose, while Jonathan Norgate (Crosslands faculty member) will show how our vision of Christ expands as our understanding of the church deepens.

Who it’s for: This track is a mandatory requirement for Crosslands Seminary students, but is open to anyone who wants to think about the doctrine of the church.  It does not assume any prior level of theological study. These sessions run in parallel with Part 1: Lifelong stream.
