Revd Dr David Wilkinson, principal of St John's College, Durham, argued passionately and convincingly that mission should be more about relevance than defence, more about building bridges than trying to win arguments. If there was a lesson to be taken from the account of Paul in Athens, it was that we should listen to and learn from popular culture, and make imaginative connections. Indeed, the church needs to stimulate the imagination - after all, what did Jesus himself do but teach in stories and metaphors? He cited many of his own favourite pop culture references, notably the Simpsons and Star Wars, to show some of the different ways in which religion and culture can interact, and then challenged the audience to think about how we - as individuals - could build bridges between our faith and the culture in which we live.
