International track seminar: ghosts, gods, spirits and ancestors

What do Christians believe about ghosts and spirits? Do the other gods people worship have any real power? What should I do about my family’s strong belief in ancestor worship? How do Christians deal with these issues? In many cultures gods, ghosts, spirits and ancestors are part of everyday life. In the West these things are rarely talked about, so international students may not always find answers to these kinds of questions in British churches. But the Bible does give answers and there are ways we can understand these things from a Christian perspective. This seminar will look at Jesus’ position and power in the spiritual world, how the Bible views these different parts of the ‘unseen world’ and how we can live a Christian life which honours our family and traditions with freedom from fear.
