SCBA BUEN Gathering
Wednesday 7th May, 7pm 2025
Online
We are having another online BUEN/SCBA meeting on Wednesday 7th May, at 7 p.m. One of the things we’ll do is to compare notes and exchange ideas on how we did ‘Climate Sunday’ services. If you didn’t run a Climate Sunday service on April 27th then this meeting could be very helpful! We will also look at how we can get more helpful and engaging content related to creation care onto the SCBA website.
If you would like to join us, you would be very welcome indeed. This is the link to connect: https://roseberyparkbaptistchurch.my.webex.com/join/simon.bartlett |
Smaller Churches Network
Monday 9th June 2025, 7pm
Online
At SCBA, we recognise the unique challenges that come with being part of a smaller church community. We want you to know that you are not alone. To support one another, we host termly online gatherings specifically for churches with a membership of under 40 people. These times together provide space to listen, share, and encourage each other in ministry and mission. Alongside this, we also encourage local, in-person meet-ups to deepen connection and offer mutual support. Whether online or face-to-face, our heart is to journey together and strengthen one another in all that God is calling us to do.
For more information about in-person meet-ups contact Rev Hayley

Other Baptist Events
Black Theology & Ministry Consultation
Wednesday 7th May, 7-9pm
New Road Baptist Church, Oxford
The evening will be musical interludes and perhaps some liturgy and an opportunity for church leaders and pastors to meet leading scholars and activists and ask them questions: – Less of the intellectual form of the morning, and more concerned with issues of practice. The evening will explore issues such as:-
-
How does one preach Black or Womanist informed sermon?
-
Can we give examples of how Black hermeneutics shape Bible study or our re-reading of well known biblical texts?
-
How can music carry liberative theological content and not just be a placebo for making people feel good? Is the latter necessarily a bad thing?
Taking part will be:
Professor Dwight N. Hopkins – Chicago University Divinity School
Dr Aaron Grizzell - Northern California Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Foundation
Dr Andrea C. White – Union Theological Seminary
Dr Raymond Carr - Harvard University
Bernett Nkwayi Mulungo – University of South Africa
If you wish to attend the evening, please contact Irim Sarwar @ office@newroad.org.uk |
