Tech and geek Christian convention?
From June 16 – 20 the inaugural London
Technology Week saw 60 coders, designers,
data geeks, tech heads and entrepreneurs
united by their Christian faith meeting at
the Impact Hub Westminster for Kingdom
Code, to explore how knowing Jesus makes
a difference to their work.
Rupert Edwards, CEO of the generosity
app Lepton, described the group’s goal as:
‘creating a space for divine serendipity’. They
hoped that connections would be formed
and friendships born that might encourage
members and
lead
to new
faith-inspired
projects and startups, for the glory of God.
The event,
sponsored by Greg Latcham
Solicitors and by
the Premier Christian
New Media Conference & Awards, drew
people from as far afield as Northern Ireland and
included
representatives
from
several
Christian organisations
such as Wycliffe
Bible Translators UK, Scripture Union
and the Good Book Company, as well as
Siku, one of the artists on futurist comicstrip
2000 AD.
