The Jesmond Conference '20 faces the need for Christians and the Church corporately (if possible) to speak with a new unashamedly Christian voice in public spheres that include, locally and nationally, the media (including the BBC), education, medicine, entertainment, business and, of course, Government. What does or will that look like in practice and where can we start?
The Jesmond Conference runs annually to engage with public issues from a Christian perspective. David Holloway has been Vicar of Jesmond Parish Church since 1973, a large Anglican Church in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK with 2 sites, a staff team of over 30 and a congregation of over 1,000. He is often asked to speak on public issues on local and national radio, is a council member of Reform and is the author of several books including, 'The Church of England, Where Is it Going?'
Jesmond Parish Church is a large evangelical Anglican church in the heart of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. For more info see
