More on the Theme
The theme for the conference of 2025 is “The Image of God”, based on the words of Genesis 1:26-27: “Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.”
Following last year’s theme of “the Body of Christ,” we will be delving deeper into a range of theological, ethical and practical topics related to the act of creation, Christ’s incarnation and our salvation.
Main Speaker
Pastor Tapani Simojoki was ordained and installed as the pastor of Our Saviour Lutheran Church, in England, in March 2010. He had been serving the congregation as a curate since the previous September. He also serves as the Chairman of the ELCE and as an editor for the British Lutheran.
Pastor Tapani was born in Finland as the second of six children in a Lutheran pastor’s family. When he was in his mid-teens, the family moved to Kenya where his parents went to work as missionaries. Therefore, he finished his schooling in English, following a British curriculum. As a result, he ended up coming to the UK for his university studies — and never left. Having gained a degree in Theology from the University of Cambridge and Concordia Theological Seminary, and a teaching qualification, Tapani worked as a teacher of Religious Studies for a number of years in the Midlands and in East Anglia.
Tapani is married to Sarah. They have four children. His hobbies include playing and listening to music, reading history and sailing.
