Revolt Against Reality
Revolt Against Reality is an in-person conference for everyone hosted by Emmanuel North London Church. And yes, you read that correctly … not online, not live-streamed, not on Zoom or YouTube … real people in a real place gathered in reality for a conference that can only be described as unreal(!) The aim is to equip Christians to better understand the times we live in, especially as the culture propels itself into further sexual confusion, crass materialism, and faith in technology. How should we then live? What will the Christian calling like in the midst of this revolt against reality?
Steve Hayhow is the Pastor of Emmanuel North London Church and renowned for having the widest hairdo centre parting of any Christian minister in the Western world. Andy Young has a revolting reputation and so was an ideal candidate to speak at this conference. Rumour has it that he was so desperate to appear alongside Steve that six figure sums were exchanged between certain offshore Cayman Islands bank accounts.
