Happy Monday! Here are the RC events you can attend this week. We hope to see you in Stellenbosch tonight, in Cape Town tomorrow, or in Potchefstroom on Thursday 😁

A MASSIVE THANK YOU to all the speakers and attendees of the RC Conference in Pretoria last weekend! Coming up... Our RC Conference in Cape Town, Rondebosch!

The event is open for all to attend - no registration is needed. You can view the Cape Town Conference Programme and Speaker Information at https://ratiochristi.co.za/events/ratio-christi-conference/

We can't wait to meet you there 😁

Join us TONIGHT in Centurion or Potchefstroom! Karnu, from the RC Centurion team, will offer students advice on better communicating their faith to friends who ask the important, but difficult questions. Students in Potchefstroom can expect an interesting discussion on comparing Christianity and other religions and beliefs.

We hope to see you there!

Good Morning RC Community! (Especially to those in Pretoria 😉) The time has finally come! We kick off our first day of the RC Conference in PTA today at 14:30!

Here is a reminder of who and what you can expect to hear. Note: This is a FREE event open to all. However, please attend with a friend!😉🥳

Join us later today at UJ for our second in-person meeting with the RC Johannesburg Chapter! We will continue introducing Apologetics concepts, this time with Pierre le Roux speaking on finding God in biology. Bring your friends!

Come and listen to Prof. Henk Stoker at RC Potchefstroom tonight as he speaks on How to reach Jehovah’s Witnesses with the Gospel. See you there!

We have some exciting news to share😎 RC in Johannesburg will be hosting its first in-person meeting THIS FRIDAY at UJ🤩. Bring a friend and join us for an introduction to apologetics tomorrow from 12:00 to 13:00.

Our team looks forward to seeing you all there!😄

The Howes are in Pretoria this week! Catch them tonight at RC Pretoria for discussions on the New Age and Progressive Christianity and tomorrow at RC Centurion for a talk on Hillsong and Bethel Music. RC Potchefstroom will continue their series on Arguments for the Existence of God.

See you there!

Our first event in July will surely be a cold one! Luckily, there's almost nothing that a bit of philosophy and a warm cup of coffee next to the Braces' fireplace can't fix 😉 Join Dr Richard G. Howe tomorrow morning at 6:30am in Potchefstroom as we kick off our week-long Philosophy Short Course!

We picked up some random Americans at the airport. They asked us to take them to Potchefstroom... stay tuned 😎🥸

Finally! The time has come for our annual Ratio Christi Conference!😎 Here are the programmes for our conferences in Pretoria and Cape Town.

Both conferences are free to attend and will occur during weekends, so there are no excuses to not join us!😉 Ratio Christi loves socialising, so please bring along a friend. You definitely do not want to miss it!

Stay tuned for more info on our speakers and their presentations.🕺

See you tonight in Pretoria and Pietermaritzburg and tomorrow evening in Potchefstroom! 😎☺

For this week's topics, we decided to call on the experts!🤓😎

With South African General Elections around the corner, Prof. De Jager, who specialises in Political Science, will speak to students in Stellenbosch about why Christians need to vote. Do not miss the opportunity to join in on this discussion tonight!

In the upcoming days, our chapter in Pietermaritzburg will explore the debate around suffering, and our chapters in Pretoria and Centurion will listen to apologists from the Families of Virtue Ministry discuss topics like joy and s*x. Finally, our Potchefstroom chapter will welcome Prof. Henk Stoker who will teach students how to share the gospel with those caught in cults.

Join in on any of these meetings and feel free to bring a friend. Have a great week, RC Community 🕺

It is almost that time of the year again! The annual Ratio Christi Conference (previously called "Symposium") is an event where we prepare Christians to better understand the historic Christian faith and the ideas which govern the world to ultimately engage effectively with the Gospel. This year's conference is fittingly titled Staying Rooted Despite a Shifting Culture.

Usually, we host a 5-day long conference in only one location. However, given the establishment and growth of new chapters in locations across South Africa, we have decided to put the conference on wheels!

This year, the conference team and speakers will visit Pretoria and Cape Town between July and August! Our now 2-day long programme will hopefully allow more of our students and supporters to listen to local and international experts discuss apologetic arguments for staying rooted in Christ despite society's continual shifts in its ideologies and beliefs.

We invite you to save the conference date of a location near you and to reach out to us if you feel called to support us financially in making this event a success. In the meantime, follow us on social media to stay informed on any updates.

See you tonight in Pretoria & Pietermaritzburg and tomorrow in Centurion and Potchefstroom. Bring a friend!☺

What a pleasure it was to have these folks visit our country and speak to our students! 🙌

Did you miss our Apologetics Conference with speakers from the Families of Virtue Ministry last weekend? You still have a chance to listen to Dr. Thomas McCuddy speak on our current culture surrounding s*x, s*xuality and gender this Wednesday in Pretoria! See our previous post for the details. 😊

Had an amazing time with Simon Brace and Ratio Christi South Africa. Met some incredible students and super excited to make some new disciplemakers and virtue cultivators when courses start with the Classical Virtue Acedemy in August.

Always appreciate the Braces and their hospitality! Already looking forward to the return trip!

Our teams have prepared some fascinating topics to be discussed this week!

Join us tomorrow evening in Cape Town for a discussion on gender according to the Bible. On Wednesday, you can pop by our meeting in Pretoria where we will listen to Dr Thomas McCuddy speak on our current culture surrounding s*x, s*xuality and gender. We will end this week's meetings in Centurion on Thursday with a discussion on identity and how we find worth in ourselves and those around us.

Everyone is welcome to attend - especially with a friend! 😎😉

Don't miss the Ratio Christi Apologetics Conference featuring apologists from the Families of Virtue ministry! Join us this Saturday 4 May at Shofar Church in Potchefstroom. Feel free to invite friends! ☺️

We have a week packed with Ratio Christi events, starting tonight in Potchefstroom with apologists from the Families of Virtue ministry! 🎊 Our topics will range from the meaning of s*x and a Biblical defence of marriage to scriptural twisting in cults. Feel free to invite friends! 😎

This Easter, we join with believers all over the world in contemplating the truth of and giving thanks for the consequences of the physical resurrection of Jesus.

The “Minimal Facts Argument” for the Resurrection presents only the facts so strongly attested historically, that they are granted by nearly every scholar who studies the subject. You can listen to a discussion of these facts in our interview with Dr Mike Licona, expert scholar on the resurrection of Jesus, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53DzSxpPfN8

If Jesus truly rose from the grave, salvation is possible and we have a living hope. We wish you a blessed Easter.

Sincerely,
The Ratio Christi Team
