Relational Thinking and Social Transformation
Free Evening Workshop with Jonathan Tame
Through the story of the Jubilee Centre, Jonathan Tame will explore the concept of Relational Thinking. The paradigm begins with the two greatest commandments: love God and love other people. The assumption is that relationships are what matter most to God and are key to our own meaning and purpose. This gives rise to a new way of thinking about God’s agenda for transforming society. Crucial to this is the assertion that relationships are not limited to a separate ‘social’ category alongside the economic, environmental, or political attempts at transformation, but are essential to each sphere.
Jonathan is a leader in the work of the Jubilee Centre, pioneering various training initiatives around relational thinking. Jonathan has worked in Geneva as a trainer in spiritual heritage. Prior to which he worked in Romania developing social, education and cultural projects. He has also led YWAM’s relief and development support office in Lausanne. Jonathan has trained and worked as an agricultural economist for the British government’s development agency in Cameroon.
