Speakers

We are delighted to announce our two plenary speakers for this year:

The Rev Canon Phil Potteris Director of Pioneer Ministry for the Diocese of Liverpool, Phil has been a leading figure in developing Cell Church and Fresh Expressions of church in the UK, and the church he led for twenty years has developed several exciting pioneer projects, including 'Riverbank' cafe church and 'Riverforce' church in the workplace . He is author of two books, “The Challenge of Cell Church” and his latest book, “The Challenge of Change--Shaping Change and Changing the Shape of Church.”

Harold Roscher is the chaplain and director for the Edmonton Native Healing Centre. Harold started full time work in 2002 after the Creator challenged him to go back to school and prepare his heart to work with aboriginal people. Harold says of himself “At age thirty-five I became a registered Indian with the government - talk about a transition from being a little dark haired Dutch boy. In recognizing myself as a Cree man, God launched me on this fantastic journey of discovery about self, culture and the Gospel”. The vision of ENHC is to develop an urban aboriginal community where, through a relationship with the Creator, hearts can be healed, and a network of life-giving relationships can be fostered. Using the value of respect, create a healthy community with the capacity to live in harmony and peace building towards a stronger future.

We believe Phil and Harold will make a great team, blending the insights of the best of the both Canadian and the UK scene.
