THE University of Reading (UoR) Chaplaincy is hosting a talk challenging Christians’ approach to evangelism.
Theology lecturer James Butler will look to explore the topic in a session entitled “Why Christians Need to Stop Evangelising (Badly) and Have a Conversation”.
As part of the UoR Chaplaincy’s Café Théologique series, Butler will use his research to evidence how current teachings could “disable rather than enable people to share their faith”.
The St Augustine’s College of Theology tutor believes that Christians should place more emphasis on understanding individuals than the rhetoric they use when spreading the gospel.
Attendees will be afforded the opportunity to participate in an open Q&A discussion after the presentation.
The UoR Chaplaincy’s Café Théologique series is a platform where contemporary issues are explored and challenged.
The event takes place at 7.30pm on Monday, May 9 at Zerodegrees Bar, Bridge Street and can also be streamed via Zoom.
