Conferences and events

Workshops
Ekklesia provides half-day or full day workshops on a range of political, social and ethical issues from a theological perspective. Designed for both small and large groups, these are particularly useful for people who want to know more about how to apply their faith to the world around them. They can be customised to suit the needs of the particular group, and combine both theory and practical exercises.

Briefings for journalists and others
Ekklesia can offer personal or group briefings on issues concerned with religion and public life for journalists, researchers and those working on public policy. We can do this face-to-face, via telephone, email or video-conferencing.

Publicity, media and press work
Ekklesia can work with your group to improve its performance and profile in relation to both the religious and secular media – print, broadcast, web and interactive. We can also assist with ideas for PR and publicity. And we also help with press conferences.

Mediation and conflict transformation
A number of our partners offer specialist services in handling conflict creatively, using workshops, consultancy and other techniques to move from confrontation to creativity. Occasionally Ekklesia staff will assist groups or individuals in this area. Confidentiality is paramount to us.

Theological education
Ekklesia can provide general and specialist theological training, both for church groups and colleges, and for those outside faith communities who want to find out more. Theology is about how coherent Christian understanding is developed through methodological, creative and prayerful investigation of (and reflection on) texts, traditions and contemporary insights together.
