With a long history of undergraduate Christian Unions in the UK, it is rather less difficult to start a workplace Christian group in a university setting than it might be elsewhere.
After two years as a prayer meeting, the Christian Postgraduate and Staff Network (CPS) was formed back in 2016 and puts on events appropriate to university culture, to reach colleagues and encourage Christians.
Reading groups (where participants gather regularly to read, understand, and discuss a book), panel discussions and seminars (a 45 minute talk followed by a Q&A) are frequent activities in the academic pursuit of new knowledge, and have also proved popular ways to engage colleagues with the gospel.
