The Evangelical Alliance is launching a new three-year initiative to help people think Biblically about what it means to be human.
The ‘Being Human’ project aims to inspire and equip everyday Christians to be able to ‘understand, articulate and participate in the Biblical vision of humanity’.
Peter Lynas of the EA said: ‘We are putting together resources, courses, articles, apps and events to help people better understand the God story and the shifting cultural context we are living in. We then want to use the lens of being human to help meet people where they are at and have gospel conversations.
‘We are all searching for significance, connection, and a place to participate in our broken and complex world. We want to help people have “bus stop” or “school gate” chats about some of the big issues facing human beings today. Rather than Christians running away from these conversations, we believe these can be missional moments pointing to Jesus.’
The project was recently launched at the first in-person Evangelical Alliance Council meeting since the start of the pandemic. New council members such as John Stevens of the FIEC and Paul Williams of Bible Society joined with existing members such as Tracy Cotterell of LICC and current chair John Risbridger (see photo).
