Worship Committee Blog concept

The United Theological College is an ecumenical space that enables young people in their discernment process to witness God meaningfully and contextually in church and society. The vocational formation that takes place in this space helps the community to re-imagine faith, informed by contextual engagement with the resources of our faith, mediated by radical societal interventions. Worship at UTC re-discovers spirituality as our openness to the realities around us, and serves as a launching-pad for new discipleship journeys, celebrating our faith in God and our commitment to live out our faith by participating in God’s mission to turn the world upside down. 

For Such a Time as This: Discerning Christian Public Witness is the theme for the new academic year. Like Esther, we are called to bear witness the God of life in the context of new manifestations of empire that systematically threaten God’s promise of life in abundance, offered to the community of creation. Here Christian discipleship demands from us the commitment to discern the signs of the times and to develop alternative imagination and consciousness to contest the imperial hegemonic claims of the dominant and to bear witness by participating in God’s system-threatening politics in the here and now. 

This blog is an alternate expression of witness; witnessing in the cyber space, our faith in God’s mission of healing and restoration, through creative expressions of our spirituality. We welcome you to journey with us to bear witness in the public sphere.
