Positive comments from 2015’s feedback encouraged the planning group to embark on a second Word on the Wash conference held in the early autumn 2016.
Word on the Wash is hosted by the parish church at Terrington St Clements, near Kings Lynn. Hugh Palmer from All Souls Langham Place and Tim Chester from Grace Church Boroughbridge were the main speakers. The conference theme was Keeping the Faith, with Hugh Palmer speaking from 2 Timothy 2 and 3. Tim Chester reminded the conference that next year will be the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, and spoke on maintaining Reformation joy from Galatians 2.
Sense of fellowship
Over 30 churches were represented, with some folk travelling from as far as Cromer in the east and Northampton to the west. This sense of fellowship was deeply appreciated. It is a huge encouragement when well-known speakers are prepared to travel to a Fenland village, giving of their time and energies to support churches in what is often an isolated situation.
