A milestone annual conference helps churches in Ireland to assess the opportunities and challenges of contemporary western culture.

One in a MillionThe Centre of Contemporary Christianity in Ireland looks back at its first annual conference.

The Centre for Contemporary Christianity in Ireland held its first annual conference entitled 'Singing the Lord's song in a strange land' in the Seagoe Hotel, Portadown on 5 November.

Seasons of change for the churches - autumn leaves and new signs of growthTheologians Stuart and Sian Murray Williams explored how the culture of postmodernity and the post-Christendom era have brought about a significant shift in western society.

Over seventy participants, many from south of the border, brought a creative mix of experiences and ideas to the theme.

It was acknowledged that churches face new challenges, but new opportunities also. What fresh expressions of church may be needed in this new context?

Further seminars on this theme are planned by the Centre for 2006.
