Transforming the Mind 2013

The 11th Annual National Christian Postgraduate Conference, for postgraduate students & postdoctoral researchers

 

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind...”

Are you studying for a masters or PhD while seeking to follow Jesus Christ? Are you a Christian working in a university or other academic centre and struggling to find people who understand your calling? Transforming the Mind could be the most important date in your diary this year!

 

Come and unwind in the beautiful setting of Dovedale House and share your busy life with other students and young academics. This unique weekend features talks by experienced speakers, group discussion, outdoor leisure and worship time, all in fellowship with other Christians as we seek to integrate academic life with faith in Christ.

Coming from many disciplines, nations and cultures, we meet together to encourage each other and explore what God is calling us to be and to do in the university and beyond. We ask questions about our faith, our work, our relationships and our world, seeking to share wisdom and to learn from each other by God’s Spirit.

 

Transforming the Mind challenges us to offer ourselves ‘as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God’, being ‘transformed by the renewing of [our] mind’ (Romans 12:1–2).

 

This year's conference is scheduled for 21-23 June, in the picturesque setting of Dovedale House, in the Derbyshire Dales.

 

Speakers: Donald Hay, Roy McCloughry and Maithrie White.
