The Round Church, Cambridge (CB2 1UB)
From Life in the Round
We are thrilled to be launching a new book by Mike Hood, one of the pastors at Eden Baptist Church, Cambridge. He will explore the resurrection as ‘The Forgotten Key to the Universe’ and investigate how it unlocks the mysteries of meaning, death and God.
The Round Church, Cambridge (CB2 1UB)
From Life in the Round
We look forward to welcoming Stephen Shaw KC, who will review the evidence for the resurrection and offer forensic reflections on the Christian claim that a dead man walked out of his tomb.
12-13 June 2026Â |Â Venue: Christ Church Cambridge (CB1 1HT)
The theme of the conference is ‘Unashamed’ – from Romans 1:16 – and will equip us to respond to the new phenomenon of noticeably more people openly showing an interest in spiritual things. In some cases this is shown in a growing attraction to ancient institutional expressions of Christianity, including Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. Equally, in other cases we see a renewed interest in paganism or in the spirituality behind yoga and crystals.
We want to meet today’s spiritual thirst with the gospel itself, which is the power of God to salvation for those who believe. How can we unashamedly and lovingly offer Christ in a way that shows a thirsty world the surpassing goodness, beauty and truth of the orthodox Protestant gospel which we have received?
Theme: Reason and Imagination
Cambridge is full of thinking people. What do they think about Christianity? From the University to the Science Park, from Addenbrooke’s to the City Council: our colleagues and friends all live with assumptions about our faith.
But what assumptions do we have about their questions? In our rapidly changing culture, are we tracking with their thinking? How might we commend and defend the gospel in creative ways in Cambridge today? Our summer conference this year explored the role of reason and imagination in outreach.

We must give honest answers to honest questions. Christianity is Truth, Truth that God has told us, and if it is Truth, it can answer questions."
We ran our first Cambridge Summer School of Apologetics in 2006, when The Foundations Trust was still known as Christian Heritage. Over the years we have hosted main speakers including Bill Edgar, John Lennox, David Robertson, Andrew Fellows, Jock Mcgregor, Ted Turnau, Greg Koukl, Stephen Meyer and Ard Louis.
