Wendy The Robot

Do androids dream of electric speakers?

 

Wendy the robot was a big hit at Catalyst Live 2016, and so was her friend, robotics professor Nigel Crook. In the spirit of getting former speakers and delegates to recommend the event, we visited Wendy and interrupted her fitness regime to ask her to make a promo video to give you reasons why you should buy your tickets now to Catalyst Live 2018, which will feature Stanley Hauerwas and Paula Gooder.

Buy your tickets for Birmingham here or for Bristol here and reaffirm thinking humanity. Come to Catalyst Live.

 

Adrian Snell

The exile returns

Adrian Snell will be speaking at Catalyst Live 2018, on his fascinating and emotional work as a music therapist for special children in the UK and overseas. BMS Director of Communications Mark Craig spoke to Adrian recently for Baptist Times:

For a number of years in the 1980s, Adrian Snell was one of the brightest stars in the Christian music firmament. Which was always something of a disappointment to the man himself, as his music was never created for an exclusively Christian audience (*shudders*) and thoroughly deserved a wider listenership, which it only sometimes got. Indeed, Adrian resisted for years the inevitable pigeon-holing of his music as being ‘for Christians’; naturally, much of that unhelpful labelling is by Christians themselves, keen to claim him and his art as ‘ours’.
