This is also by David Jackman on 'What's so special about preaching?' , we live under the tyranny of small group bible studies and 121's. David's article is a fantastic riposte on why we need preachers. Also while in America I saw this clip of Carl and Derek at the Westminster Seminary Preaching...

If you're in the DC area this weekend (and judging by my recent driving experience on I-95, at any given time, half of America is in the DC area), you will not want to miss the Washington Conference on the Christian Life . This year's theme is "What is the Church?" I can hardly think of a more...

Having been away this weekend I managed to catch up with about 6 months magazine and journal reading. David Jackman was the Founding Director of the Cornhill Training Course , prior to this he was minister of Above Bar Church in Southampton. Now he's living the life of Riley in semi retirement and...

I feel like I've been run over by a truck, whoever thought of flying someone over from the UK for a weekend should be shot.

In light of the amazingly positive response that I know I am going to get to the launch of ME ME ME, I am delighted to announce a new conference, The Cuckoo's Nest, where I will be just hanging out with a few of my good friends who believe in justification by grace through faith and all that jazz...

Convicted by Levy's post of yesterday, the present First Lady and I are pleased to announce that we are changing the name of our organisation from Rodney Trotter Mission to the Cosmos Ministries to the Major Evangelistic Movement for the Expansion of Missional Evangelicalism, or ME ME ME for short...
