About Kategoria

Kategoria is a 3 day program is designed to equip you for wise Christian political and cultural leadership through in-depth seminars on 4 key areas:

1) analysis of Australian culture,

2) discipleship for leaders a digital age,

3) developing and pursuing a Christian social vision, and

4) evangelism in a post-christian workplace.

The goal is an integrated view of Christian political and cultural leadership that is biblically faithful, culturally intelligent, and positively engaged for the common good.

 

Why Kategoria?

Often our thinking about political and cultural engagement operates in only one dimension: it might be all about cultural critique or all about evangelism. This produces one dimensional Christian leaders who struggle to be truly effective in bringing the gospel to bear on our society. We believe we need leaders who are shaped and motivated by the gospel, have a big and integrated vision of the ways in which the gospel engages our society, and who have the understanding and character to lead for change.
