What is "Introducing God"?
The God to whom we are introduced in Introducing God is the God of the Bible. We get to know God gradually as we look together at key passages in his biography. Each session of the course is based on a chapter of the Bible. Each night we have dinner together (gold coin donation) listen to a message and discuss what we have heard. It makes for great conversation as everyone’s opinion is valued and thought provoking. Great friendships are usually the result of people’s participation in the course.

Experience of past participantsAfter a bit of prodding, I went along to the Roxbury Hotel in Glebe, a little unsure of what to expect. And a little nervous at the prospect of meeting other media types in the Christian world. I shouldn't have been so concerned. Because, by the end of dinner on the first night—before the official part of the evening—I was already sold on the concept. What occurred in the hour or so following dinner, the talk and table discussion, was incredibly frank and comfortable, and the format allowed for those a little unsure why they were there, like I was at first, to assess the situation. Exactly what Introducing God is all about became clear quickly: a step-by-step look at the promise of God and the story of Jesus in a completely non-threatening environment with plenty of scope for asking questions. The discussion groups were well-led, enjoyable and thought-provoking (at least the group I was in). Was it successful? From a newcomer's perspective - absolutely! The worst thing that can happen to you if you are a first-timer to anything is feeling uncomfortable. That's one thing that I haven't experienced in anything associated with Christians in the Media from day one. The people are friendly and always make an effort to greet and talk to new people. And that carries over to Bible study, church on Sunday nights and social events. From a topical point of view, it was vibrant, colourful, relevant, and, very topical. At the end, I wanted it to keep going. Maybe it was partially because I hadn't experienced such an openly-warm ambience in other like situations, especially in the last 18 months. But more likely it's because Introducing God was well-organised, not too long on any given night and a bit of fun.

About the Introductory Session The Introductory Session is set in the pagan amphitheatre in Athens as the Apostle Paul interacts with the pluralistic multicultural crowd of the first century, putting his thesis to those who will listen. As he speaks of the resurrection of Jesus, some sneer, but others say they would like to hear more. It is these varied responses that famed the conversations of the Grecian philosophers.
