Late stage abortion? Genetic modification? How does Christian faith impact how we think about these issues? In this talk Dr Kolstoe will outline different approaches to ethical decision making and ask whether Christianity is a cause or a solution when bioethical conflict occurs.

Our Holiday Club this year is based on the theme of the seaside and one particular fisherman called Peter, who was known as the Rock. Peter was a follower of Jesus, and the first disciple to recognize who Jesus was. But later on he turned away from Jesus and denied that he had ever known him.

There will be games involving water, sand and stones.  There will be building of houses on sand and on a hard surface. There will be singing and stories.

We are based on Viaduct Road, next to the Preston Circus fire station. However, the streets immediately to the north of the church have not been cleared, so they are very icy, and there are very few empty spaces for parking. Those intending to come by car are advised to look elsewhere for parking, either on Beaconsfield Road or Preston Road (thought to be free of charge), or by the Level (also thought to be free), or in the London Road car park (not free), which is easiest to reach via London Road (heading north) and York Hill, although the hill at the top of Elder Place is relatively clear at the time of writing (Saturday afternoon).
