Gateway Theology School: The Rest of Life
We all face the prospect of retirement. But do we look forward to it with anticipation, uncertainty, or dread?
What does retirement even mean? As a modern concept associated with employment and career, can there really be a ‘theology of retirement’? Does the Bible have anything to say about God’s purpose and plan for this latter phase of life?
Tudor Griffiths will explore the Biblical idea of rest (alongside retirement) as the ‘Sabbath of life’, connecting questions of identity, hope, purpose – and finding wisdom in unique sources, from Ecclesiastes to William Cowper.
The Revd Dr Tudor Griffiths was born and raised in South Wales, Tudor’s career in ordained ministry and mission spanned several countries – Wales, Uganda, and here in Cheltenham and Gloucester – before ‘retirement’, only to become the mayor of Chepstow! As a retired clergy, author, historian, and theologian with a doctorate in mission history, Tudor is perfectly placed to provide a biblical perspective on this consequential topic.
This talk is on Friday 10 July, from 7pm to 9pm, at Hillview Church, Hucclecote, 26 Colwell Ave, GL3 3LX.
