Leadership over Lunch
Monday 16th November, 1.10pm
About the event
We believe that a New Renaissance of Christian Scholarship, Leadership and Culture is the only thing that can transform the narrative and reshape our society on a healthier footing.
- Leadership, because we have, in the person of Jesus, a model for leadership that is so refreshingly free from the self-promotional power games that have too often been our experience of leadership in politics, business and - shamefully - the Church. This disillusionment and distrust have left people open to believing in conspiracy theories and to embracing leaders who exploit this widespread disillusionment to offer a vision that will further divide, using rhetoric that is increasingly graceless.

Wycliffe Hall has set itself the modest task of fostering a New Renaissance of Christian scholarship, leadership and culture. As both a Christian community and a Permanent Private Hall of the University of Oxford, we want to see transformational scholarship, leadership and culture, born out of Christian community, offering the truth, beauty and goodness of the gospel to the world.
