From one Essentials Blue participant:
“Imagine a place where you are invited to ask big questions relating to how you think about God. Imagine being part of a diverse, creative learning community who were all on a similar pursuit. The Institute provided a beautiful, solid foundation of thought, adding in building blocks which God is using to re-construct some of my Biblical worldview. The whole process has personally been a surprising discovery, adding layer upon layer of fresh insight. This course has both illuminated old thinking and uncapped new thinking for me. It has given back ground that was lost, and also invited me towards new horizons.” (Di Hocking, Melbourne, Australia)
