“Obesity and a new paradigm of treatment.” In 2015, 58 per cent of women and 68 per cent of men were overweight and current predictions place the number of people with diabetes to 5 million by 2025. Are science and the medical community now turning to biblical wisdom to treat the problem? Join us for a presentation of the scientific evidence and how some in the medical community are adopting a new paradigm of treatment, with Tomas Franco.

The Rt. Revd. Peter Forster, Bishop of Chester will be speaking on “Theology after Einstein,” looking at the revolutionary and often ill-understood implications of Einstein’s thinking and the fascinating way they interact with Christian faith. This will include the post-Einsteinian concept of ‘the universe’, the movement from mechanism to field theory and its relation to space-time, the arrow of time, cosmic and human uniqueness, and Jesus Christ, Light of the World, a unique and universal Saviour.

We welcome Prof. Paul Jackson, of the School of Government and Society at Birmingham University, whose topic will be “Possible roles for technology in alleviating poverty in world conflict and post-conflict zones”. Prof. Jackson will consider how technology and artificial intelligence can be used to avoid the catastrophies often seen in conflict and post-conflict areas, and to improve recovery in such areas. He has studied the drivers of such conflicts in Africa and elsewhere, and will present his experience.
