I think we're all enjoying Carl's climbdown over the celebrities , now kissing the hands he once used to bite. I've not got a dog in this fight, I don't even know most of the people at the conference. David Platt was one of the best central midfielders in the 90s for England and the fact that he's...

The IPC (International Presbyterian Church) is minuscule. We're barely surviving. Our website is down at the moment because we forgot to renew the domain name and at one point were advertising Viagra. But there are very good things happening and we're getting there. Trinity Church York is a bright...

The editors welcome Pastor Rob Ventura as our newest addition to the reformation21 blog team. He is the pastor of Grace Community Baptist Church in Cumberland, Rhode Island and co-author, along with fellow ref21 blogger Jeremy Walker, of A Portrait of Paul . Welcome Rob!

Can you imagine getting up and announcing a hymn and saying, 'There are no words. Please feel free to sing along to the...

Carl Trueman is available to sign autographs after the morning session of T4G today and you can have your photo taken with Carl if you are willing to make a donation to the IPC Ealing building fund.

The thrust of my previous post was merely to emphasise that I would be particularly pleased to know that they are looking...

I love the fact Jeremy is in Zambia, has limited opportunity to go on the internet and so posts......... a quote telling us off for celebrating Easter Sunday!!! I have a massive Cadbury's Cream Egg waiting for him on his return or does he not accept Chocolate Eggs?
