On Tuesday August 20 — much too late but also too important to leave undone — MtE will be “unveiling” the relocated
Midwifery and Mission sculpture and presenting it to the CTM/VicTas Synod as part of the congregation’s relocation to the CTM (now just over a year!).
The event will commence at 10.30am in Yuma Auditorium in the CTM with a presentation on the themes and development of sculpture by Rev Dr John Smith, minister of MtE at the time of its 150th celebrations. We will also be joined by Anna Meszaros, the sculptor.
You are most welcome to join us! An indication via the form below of your intention to attend will assist with our setting up and catering, but please come anyway if you’re still too late to RSVP!
Please note that there is no parking available on site at the CTM for this event; parking can be found in the streets about College Crescent or alongside the Melbourne General Cemetery.
Address: The Centre for Theology and Ministry, 29 College Crescent, Parkville

FROM THE PUBLISHER
Should Christians be politically withdrawn, avoiding participation in politics to maintain their prophetic voice and to keep from being used as political pawns? Or should Christians be actively involved, seeking to utilize political systems to control the levers of power?
In Jesus and the Powers, N. T. Wright and Michael F. Bird call Christians everywhere to discern the nature of Christian witness in fractured political environments. In an age of ascending autocracies, in a time of fear and fragmentation, amid carnage and crises, Jesus is king, and Jesus’s kingdom remains the object of the church’s witness and work.
Part political theology, part biblical overview, and part church history, this book argues that building for Jesus’s kingdom requires confronting empire in all its forms. This approach should orient Christians toward a form of political engagement that contributes to free democratic societies and vigorously opposes political schemes based on autocracy and nationalism. Throughout, Wright and Bird reflect on the relevance of this kingdom-oriented approach to current events, including the Russian-Ukraine conflict, the China-Taiwan tension, political turmoil in the USA, UK, and Australia, and the problem of Christian nationalism.
