SUMMARY:Bishops’ Study Day
DESCRIPTION:The bishops are delighted to welcome ­­­­­Kester Brewin\, Associate Director at the Institute for the Future of Work and a writer on religion and technology\, as our guest speaker for this autumn’s Bishops’ Study Day for clergy. \n\n\n\n\n‘What kind of selves do we need to be in order to live in harmony with others?’ \n\n\n\n\nIn a world so apparently exemplified by fracture\, across three sessions\, we’ll explore Miroslav Volf’s brilliant twisting of the problem: not what can be done to change others into better people\, but how we might live and be in order to foster harmony. \n\n\n\nWe will explore the long history of how technologies have impacted the ways that we communicate and gather\, and how we need to respond in this new period of technological and socio-political transformation– both as individuals and communities of faith – to learn how to engage ‘the other’. \n\n\n\nPlease find below the essential information about the day: \n\n\n\n\nVenue: St Boniface Church\, Hursley Road Chandler’s Ford\, Winchester\, SO53 2FT.\n\n\n\nTime: 9:30-15:00. Lunch will be included.\n\n\n\n\nTo book your place\, please follow this link to the booking form: Book here >>> \n\n\n\nPlease note that the deadline for responses is 16 October 2026. \n\n\n\nShould you have any questions or require further assistance\, do not hesitate to get in touch. We look forward to sharing this special day with you. \n\n\n\nMore about Kester Brewin: \n\n\n\nKester is Associate Director at the Institute for the Future of Work and a writer on religion and technology. His 2010 book ‘Other: Embracing Difference in a Fractured World’ was highly praised\, and his latest work\, ‘God-like: a 500-Year History of Artificial Intelligence in Myths\, Machines\, Monsters’ hailed by Dr Tripp Fuller as ‘the most compelling radical theological text I have read’. \n\n\n\nHe has twice presented at the UK’s premier TEDx event\, has written and presented on BBC Radio 4\, and is in demand as an authority on the socio-technical implications of AI on work and society. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue: St Boniface Church\, Chandler’s Ford
