Creating a Child Centred Nation | Compassion International
April 25, 2024
KLC hosts a whole variety of events as we seek to embody our vision of fostering and nurturing Christian scholarship and public theology, rooted in spirituality and practiced in community. These events include our regular prayer meeting, webinars and public lectures, as well as in-person events such as our annual conference in Cambridge and our annual meal held alongside SBL.

Prayer is at the heart of KLC’s work. Under the leadership of Hugo Herfst, we will host an hour prayer meeting on the first Thursday of every month at 4pm UK time that is open to the whole KLC community.
ArtWay.eu has been hailed “a jewel in the crown of work in Christianity and the arts,” and having come under the custodianship of the Kirby Laing Centre, the much-loved publication is entering an exciting new chapter in its story with the launch of a new website on the 19th of September.
Since its founding in 2013, ArtWay has published a rich library of materials and resources for scholars, artists, art enthusiasts and congregations concerned about linking art and faith. Founded by Marleen Hengelaar-Rookmaaker in 2013, ArtWay’s significance is reflected in its designation as UNESCO digital heritage material in the Netherlands.
Join us online as we hear from the ArtWay team, who will explore the history of this much-loved resource (reaching back well beyond its founding in 2013), look ahead to an exciting future, and discuss pertinent questions relating to Christianity and the arts with longstanding ArtWay contributors.

If we believe, with the Apostle Paul, that ALL Scripture is breathed out by God and is useful for the list of formative characteristics in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, then that includes Leviticus. But this raises the all-important question: how does Leviticus form and shape us into the people God is calling us to be in Christ? We have already had opportunities to push into these questions of Leviticus and formation in our previous sessions, and this will be a sole focus in our third event. Our expert guides for the event will be Dr. Christine Palmer and Rev. Dr. Amy Davis Abdallah.
The program for the event is as follows:

Join us on Wednesday, September 18th at 4pm EDT.

As KLC’s yearly rhythm takes shape there are two focal points: our Annual Conference (UK/Europe) which has just taken place, and our four Scripture Collective Seminars and Annual Meal at SBL each year (North America).
We are delighted to announce that we have booked Morton’s, The Steakhouse for our Annual Meal on the Saturday night of SBL from 6.30pm onwards. This is a premier venue, situated close to the entrance to the Convention Center. It is the largest such venue we could find and seats a maximum of 80 people.
As you know our Annual Meal is one of the best things we do, so be sure to book your place now, and encourage your colleagues and friends to do the same. You can do that by clicking the button below.
Note that we continue to subvent the meal significantly but have raised the price to US$40 this year. However, that includes a free copy of the third book in the Scripture Collective Series, due out shortly before SBL.
San Diego is a fabulous venue and we look forward very much to seeing you there!
