On Wednesday 15th July 2020 we had the privilege of hearing from two excellent speakers Angela Kemm & Owen Hylton on the subject of 'The Reconciled Church - The Battle to work out one new humanity in Christ"'.
Our Speakers
Owen Hylton - Owen serves as the full-time pastor of Beacon church and is part of the Newday management team. He is married to Pauline and they have three daughters. Before leading Beacon, Owen was on the full time staff team of Kings Church in Catford. Owen also spent 14 years working in the civil service and is author of the book ‘Crossing the Divide – a call to embrace diversity. Owen firmly believes that: "The battle for our generation is not multisite churches, large numbers being gathered and excellent (professional) meetings that look diverse. Come on, God’s purpose is way bigger and better than that! The scary truth is you can build all those things, without any help from God! The previous generation battled for a new expression of church life (the charismatic) and the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit. In God’s economy, that is the perfect foundation for building truly diverse churches that have gone some way to deal with issues of racial injustice and inequality; the impact of which is far greater than we might imagine."
Angela Kemm - Angela grew up in South Africa and pioneered mission work into townships in Cape Town, she saw amazing things happen! She worked for years in solidarity with a squatter community in KTC (a high density informal settlement in Gugulethu). Together their effort eventually won the Tambo Square community land in and houses in what is now Tambo Village. Angela is now based in Cambridge, UK and travels serving churches in various ways. She is particularly gifted in the Prophetic - bringing fresh vision and helping others to do the same. She also loves seeing God move in people’s lives bringing freedom and breaking strongholds. She is passionate about serving the poor and seeing people lifted out of poverty!
