Site Redesign
The site has had a bit of a redesign. It is still in transition so please bear with us. The new design site should help you to find related content more easily. Pay special attention to the filters which will allow you to see articles, audio and videos by a specific speaker or on a particular topic. Also it will allow all members of Creation Group to update the site with articles. This should mean articles are more frequent. There is better search engine optimisation, so if you see an article you like please link to it.

Creation and the Church Fathers
Recently I was rather shocked to read the following words from two leading British evangelical Christians:
“There is, unfortunately, a common misconception that Christians all used to take it [Creation] fairly literally, and that in a post-Copernican and Darwinian age some of us are now trying to cobble together some kind of non-literal understanding. This is simply not true. At no stage in the history of Christian interpretation of Genesis 1 – 3 has there been a ‘purely literal’ understanding.”
According to these two scholars the traditional and orthodox understanding throughout church history has been that the days of Creation are symbolic. But is this really true?

Celebrating Creation - Classical Music Event - March 24th
Classical music concert: Dvorak once said: 'I study with the birds, flowers, God and myself.' Observing creation often fills us with awe and wonder. From the vast cosmos to the tiny flower, a panorama of beauty and majesty calls forth creativity from all of us. For some that outlet is music. In this concert we will listen to music by the composers J.S. Bach, Chopin, Vivaldi, Mozart, Handel, Haydn, Schubert, Kreisler, Rutter and Haynes, combined with visual and narrative enhancements.
The Unsearchable Riches of Christ
