Here at BMS, we believe that Christians shouldn’t be afraid of ideas. Catalyst Live is about inspiring discussion, informing theology and strengthening apologetics among Christian thought-leaders. It’s the live manifestation of Mission Catalyst magazine.

The positive responses we had to the events in 2013 and 2014 were overwhelming, and we can’t wait to see what you think of Catalyst Live this year.

As always, the day will bring together great minds from the worlds of theology, apologetics, science and culture.

Over the next few weeks and months we will be releasing the line-up of excellent speakers confirmed to present at this year’s day-long events, so keep your eyes peeled. We can already reveal that cutting-edge theologian Vinoth Ramachandra and renowned Christian author Os Guiness will be speaking at Catalyst Live 2016!

Previous Catalyst Live speakers include: Jürgen Moltmann, Miroslav Volf, Lucy Berry, Stephen Holmes, Yohanna Katanacho and many more. We have also had special video contributions from legendary theologians Richard Rohr and Walter Brueggemann.

We are all set for two great days of stimulating talks and discussions – all we need is you! Buy your tickets today for Reading or for Birmingham.
