Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Protestant Reformation?
In the 16th century, a religious revolution took place in the Western Church. This is known as the “Protestant Reformation.” This event led to the formation of Protestantism within Christianity. Though the Reformation happened in Europe hundreds of years ago, but we still feel its effects in 21st century Singapore!
What is R2 Conference?
Through the years, 3 nights in October are set a side for the “Reformation Lectures.” These lectures allowed Christians in Singapore and the region to deepen their historical knowledge and strength their relationship with the Lord Jesus.This year, we want to expand our reach beyond the Reformed churches. We hope that more Christians across the island will experience the richness of the reformed conviction.Our theme for 2024 is 'The Bible & You'. We hope that participants will be able to rethink and have a deeper understanding of how the Word influence the Self, the Community and the World.
How will it run?
After a simple dinner 7pm, the lectures are held from 8-9.30 pm nightly. Each lecture is 60 mins in duration followed by “Questions & Answers” session.
Who should come?
All those who are interested in applying the lesson of the Reformation for the modern Church!
