'Life in the round'


 

'I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.' C.S.Lewis


Life-in-the-Round aims to provide a setting in which skeptics, agnostics, and believers can examine and explore Christian belief, its implications and its alternatives in the 21st century.




If there is a God, and one who is all that Christians claim in their historic creeds, nothing - and no-one - is more significant. To see God at the centre of all things, and Christ as Lord, brings about a “Copernican revolution” in our thinking and living: we place him and not ourselves at the centre of all things… and it makes a profound difference. But is there such a God? And, if so, what difference does that God make?


Our goal is give people the chance to reflect on the ‘big picture’ questions of life in a context which allows for robust, honest, critical and courteous discussion.
