The UK Conference was hosted at KCC, Southampton. 15 - 16 November 2019.
The story of Samson is both comic (killing a thousand men with a donkey’s jawbone) and brutal (killing a thousand men with a donkey’s jawbone). It is also a story rich in applications for us. In his encounter with Delilah (told in Judges 16), Samson provides us with a picture and metaphor of the dangers of entanglement with the world. Rather than fall into the mistakes made by Samson we need to remember our status as exiles.
