About 100 practitioners from the region attended our meeting on Saturday 16th July 2011 at Hedge End. Below are details of the talks we had, and the outcomes of breakout sessions.
What must we do to see a lasting change in the atmosphere on our streets? Tony Stephens gave us some thoughts about this from experiences in Weymouth.
concluding that its a lot about us living a lifestyle of preparation, holiness, and obedience, such that our very presence changes the atmosphere. There is a presentation to go with this talk, and you can listen to the talk here, or download the mp3.
Cultural change and the night scene Mike French, Bournemouth Club Chaplain, gave us some thoughts on the culture prevalent in our city centres and how we can respond to it. This was a wide-ranging talk with lots of excellent things to think about - get the notes here. Christian Nightlife Initiatives Paul Blakey from the CNI gave us an encouraging overview of the work of the CNI network. There are 5 strands of activity for the network - see this pdf for details.
