BG Futures Businesses pull on their Christmas jumpers for a great cause
Staff and businesses from BG Futures at Bishop Grosseteste University (BGU) were full of festive cheer as they joined thousands of people up and down the UK by pulling on a Christmas jumper for a great cause. The Christmas Jumper Day initiative (which raises funds for Save the Children UK to create a brighter future for children) helps bring essential food, healthcare, education, and protection to millions of children around the world who are missing out. Becky Goodman, Enterprise Development Manager, was delighted to see the BG Futures team and tenants come together in support of the charity: “Initiatives like this are incredibly important especially during the festive period so it’s been fantastic to see so many of our team and tenants support it. "A huge thank you must also go to BG Futures administrator Cassie Rainey for organising and promoting the initiative” The BG Futures team would like to extend their thanks to all that supported their event, and furthermore encourage others to donate £2 to wear their favourite Christmas jumper over the festive period. For more information on all these events and how you can get involved contact the BG Futures team at bgfutures@bishopg.ac.uk. -
‘Echoes of Contempt’ within Church history explored at book launch
Last week Bishop Grosseteste University (BGU) hosted the public launch of ‘Echoes of Contempt’, the latest book from Methodist minister the Reverend Bruce Thompson. Covering centuries of religious history, ‘Echoes of Contempt’ explores Jew Hatred, especially in relationship to the Christian Church, from the time of the early Church to today. The launch, held in the BGU Chapel, opened with introductions and reflections from local Jewish and Christian leaders. These were followed by an interview with the Reverend Bruce Thompson led by BBC Radio Lincolnshire presenter Rod Whiting. Attending the event Mark Plater, Senior Lecturer in Theology at BGU, commented: "Bruce has provided valuable input on this topic to my Holocaust Education module for many years now, and it is great to see his ideas and passion now summarised in book form. “The text is a well written, but hard-hitting read, and I commend it wholeheartedly." There are lots of exciting events taking place at BGU throughout 2019.
