Robert Elliott
Robert comes from an academic background in health sciences. His desire is to teach in a way that engages, challenges and brings bigger thinking. He enjoys lively and thoughtful debate. He reads widely particularly Christian writers – C.S. Lewis is a special favourite – and he has an
interest in Christian philosophy and apologetics. Alongside his professional career, he has delivered programmes that explore the writings of Christian thinkers and encourage Christian people to ‘think Christianly’.
With his wife, Elizabeth, Robert initiated Treasures of Darkness in 2023.
In the Bible we are encouraged to ‘pursue holiness’. In this Workshop/ Retreat we will explore the nature of biblical holiness and how we can grow in holiness. We shall also look at the historical, early, and current, cultural influences that may present obstacles to that growth. The writings of Christian thinkers and writers will be a framework to challenge us to live Holy lives in a multicultural and confused world.
This day will provide:
Interactive talks;
Learning together in small groups;
Time for personal reflection/ meditation.
You will receive:
A fuller understanding of what holiness ‘looks like lived’;
Insights into your personal obstacles to growing in holiness;
A clearer view of ways forward in holy living.
10am-4pm
