\u00a0<\/span>Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare. Jeremiah 29:7\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Wednesday 13 February: David Price<\/b>\u00a0on \u2018The impact of immigration in Sheffield\u2019 with Joe Forde as respondent and\u00a0Ibtisam\u00a0Al-Farah as Chair.\u00a0David will draw on his recently published book Welcome to Sheffield \u2013A Migration History and will argue that Sheffield has now become an ethnically diverse and cosmopolitan city and needs to come to terms with this. Copies of David\u2019s book will be available for purchase.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Wednesday 13 March<\/b>:\u00a0Rev Dr John Vincent<\/b>\u00a0on \u2018Church Policy in Sheffield\u2019, with the Revd Nick Jowett as respondent and the Revd Philip\u00a0Borkett\u00a0as Chair. As recounted in their book Inner City Testament (2017), John and Grace Vincent began their mission in inner city Sheffield nearly 50 years ago in the early 1970s. Since then, there have been huge changes both in the city and in its churches. John will reflect on the changes in church policy over this period.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Wednesday 10 April: Jenny Carpenter<\/b>\u00a0on \u2018How well is our city responding to climate change?\u2019 with the Revd Michael\u00a0Bayley\u00a0as respondent and Jo Chamberlain as Chair. Sir David Attenborough has described climate change as the greatest threat to humanity in thousands of years. Jenny and Michael are both involved in Sheffield Climate Alliance and will review the extent to which decision makers in the city and ordinary citizens are facing up to this massive challenge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our Autumn Colloquia were all well attended and much appreciated, so, as we enter 2019, we are continuing to address the theme: \u2018What makes a good city?\u2019 Some felt that the term \u2018colloquium\u2019 was too obscure, so we have changed the name to \u2018Forum\u2019 but we will retain essentially the same format – a short lunchtime talk by a carefully selected and well informed speaker, followed by questioning of the speaker and reflective discussion. We are adding one extra feature: a \u2018respondent\u2019 who will give a short commentary (up to five minutes) on the main talk before the subject is thrown open to the whole group.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
