Subject: Mission Week Speakers

Hi Guys,

As I explained in the committee meeting, we need to think now about inviting a mission week speaker for next year, so we can get a good speaker, and we head into the Autumn Term knowing where we are. Here are links to some options - would be great if you could have a listen to a few of them by next week so we can make a decision. (If you've heard them before, then there's probably not too much need to listen to them again.

I've uploaded some talks to a file at the Imperial College File Exchange which you can access with the link below:

Richard Coekin
This guy heads up to Co-Mission church planting movement.
See "Jesus and the Irrelevance of Religion - Coekin" in the linked folder.

Richard Cunnigham
The Director of UCCF - he does lots of mission speaking etc. and he likes making jokes about Imperial.
See "The Arrogance of Christianity - Richard Cunningham" in the attached folder. The talk doesn't start until about 15 mins in, and the the sound quality isn't excellent. If anyone finds any better quality recordings of him then please do send them around.

Andrew Sach (Sachy)
Does lots of student missions. PhD in neuroscience. Converted through the CU during his time at Cambridge. A few videos of his mission last week at Bristol at the link below - take your pick.

Mike Reeves
Theological director for UCCF.
See "Religion Only for the Week - Mike Reeves"  in the linked folder.

Mike Cain
Did the lunchbars at Oxford Mission this year. You can watch them here:

Vince Vitale
>From the OCCA. PhD in suffering. See "Loving God. World of Pain - Vince Vitale" in the linked folder.

Amy Orr-Ewing
Struggled to find any mission talks online (even though she's done lots). But here's a link to all her bethinking resources.

If anyone finds anything better, please do send it round.

General
The CICCU website is a goldmine of talks from lots of these speakers, so have a look through that if you want.

It would be great if we would be able to make an informed choice about a mission week speaker next week - some come prepared to share your thoughts on that next week if possible.

Thanks all,
Tom
:)
