TranslatingScripture: The Bible in Youth Ministry Conference - Blackburn Cathedral

Blackburn Diocese Board of Education, in partnership with Blackburn Cathedral, invites youth workers to an afternoon at Blackburn Cathedral to reflect together on one question: how do we enable young people engage well with scripture?

Young people come to the Bible with questions: about its authority and whether it has anything to say to their lives.

This conference takes those questions seriously. Bishop Graham Tomlin will give the keynote, and Gemma Maddell will lead a deep dive into Youthscape’s Troubling Jesus research.

This October marks 500 years since William Tyndale first published the New Testament in English. Tyndale famously said that he wanted a ploughboy to read Scripture for himself.

Five hundred years on, the task remains the same: to put the Bible within reach of the young people in your care.
