The Free Church of Scotland’s 69th School in Theology began with the life of Alexander Moody Stuart by the Rev John W. Keddie.
It was a resounding and thrilling commencement to the School, writes E.T. Kirkland. It is important to note that this is not a conference but a school, meaning the papers are given by those who regularly attend as opposed to recruiting conference speakers. This has the benefit of enabling ministers to study a particular subject which ordinarily they may not do. Because of this, the quality of the papers exceeds those delivered at conference level.
Home Mission Worker Donald J Morrison filled the missionary slot with an update on his work across Scotland, enabling us to hear at first hand the real state of the nation – gospel ignorance abounds and Scripture knowledge is, in many places, non-existent.
In such a day, when feathery Christians abound and gadding about has become endemic, the Rev Davide Ratti (Dores) spoke on Biblical Necessity and Responsibilities of Church Membership. Next year the School will gather 4–7 September, DV.
