The London Institute for Contemporary Christianity

It’s been said that culture is ‘the way we do things around here’.

But how do we fit into or stand out from culture as Christians? How do we think about what is going on around us, and go about bringing it more into alignment with God’s kingdom?

Connecting with Culture wrestles with these questions, bringing a biblical perspective to UK culture and helping you reflect on how you might live differently in response.

Our interests range wide – we discuss everything from TV and film to the current affairs and big questions of today. Each article offers a simple thought on something relevant that week, written that week. As we reflect and ask questions, we’re looking for what we can learn from, celebrate, and critique in culture. We believe the gospel really is applicable to every single area of life. We hope you’ll find these pieces thought-provoking, informative, and maybe even a little bit life changing.
