Cambridge International Outreach Hosts Required

Cambridge International Outreach (CIO) is a summer programme run by teams of Christians, who reach out with the good news about Jesus to international students, particularly those visiting Cambridge to learn English. The organisers are looking for a few more people who could host team members during their time in Cambridge. Could you provide accommodation for:

  • One female team member from 5-12 July?
  • One female team member from 5-17 July?
  • One male team member from 5-19 July (ideally 10-15 minutes cycle to the city centre as he has a knee injury)?
  • Two male team members from 5 July to 2 August (or in two shorter periods)?
  • One female team member from 10-21 July?
  • Two male team members from 19 July to 2 August?
  • Two female team members from 19 July to 2 August?
For more information of what hosting involves take a look at the CIO hosts brochure. To sign up to host, click here.
An Introduction to Mere Christian Hermeneutics
An open evening with Prof Kevin J. Vanhoozer

Date and time: Monday 15 June, 5:30-8:45pm

Venue: Cambridge Christian Study Centre (inside The Round Church)

Cost: £5 general, free for students (dinner provided)

Tickets: openevening2026.eventbrite.co.uk

How should we interpret Scripture? Evangelical Bible readers today can feel torn between different emphases emerging from different church traditions and cultural backgrounds, and from differences between biblical and systematic theology. Can the gospel itself enable us to navigate these emphases in a way that we are enriched rather than pulled apart by this diversity?

Professor Kevin J. Vanhoozer, one of the foremost evangelical theologians of our generation, will explore whether the gospel might provide this way through. Drawing on his recent book Mere Christian Hermeneutics, Prof Vanhoozer will offer two talks examining the roots of our current interpretive divisions and setting out a robustly evangelical, gospel-centred approach to reading Scripture that can unite rather than fragment.

Join the Cambridge Christian Study Centre for an open evening, to equip local students, student ministry staff, academics and anyone else who is interested, as we tackle these questions. To find out more and reserve your tickets, follow the link above.
