On the 31st of October, Lord willing, we plan to launch the Kuyper Centre for Christian Worldview Studies. The RTC was originally set up with a vision to develop the college into a Christian university, where disciplines would be taught from a Christian worldview perspective.  Despite repeated efforts to meet this vision such a university never eventuated. We trust that setting up the Centre will meet at least some of the hopes of our founders.

It is fitting that this event should take place on Reformation Day, because it was Martin Luther who first recognised that all Christians are called to their various tasks by God. Later John Calvin and others broadened this insight to a recognition that we are to live every aspect of our lives to the glory of God. A more systematic approach to a Christian "world and life view" (now simply known as "worldview") was developed late in the nineteenth century by Abraham Kuyper and his followers. It is this approach that we seek to build on, developing a Christian worldview that meets the challenges of our day and age.

The launch of the Kuyper Centre will take place on October 31, 7:30pm at the Maranatha Christian School, 146 Kidds Road, Doveton (Melbourne). Our featured speaker, Colin Youl, will speak on "Worldviews:  does your north hand know what your south hand is doing?" Following this the Centre's director, Dr Bill Berends, will introduce the purpose and program of the Kuyper Centre. Light refreshments will be served at the close. We warmly welcome you to attend this evening.
