Foundations 66 now available
The latest edition of our theological journal Foundations is now available to read online or download as a PDF. The Spring 2014 issue contains three articles that seek to evaluate the growing trend towards 'gospel partnerships' both in the US and now, increasingly, in the UK. Are they a positive development? When examined in the light of Scripture, what are the opportunities and dangers they represent? Does the UK have anything to learn from the experience of such partnerships in the US? Kevin DeYoung & Ryan Kelly, Carl Trueman and John Stevens take different points of view so it all makes for a very helpful and provoking discussion. This issue also contains an article by Paul Helm on New Testament ethics, with particular reference to modern warfare. We also have a number of book reviews to complete another stimulating issue

Salt and Light Conference - Recordings of Ministry of Dr Ray Evans
We had a wonderful variety of excellent speakers at our Salt and Light Conference in March, helping us to think through the biblical priorities of being Salt and Light in our communities, and then working on the practical outworking of these imperatives in the life and ministry of the churches. We are so grateful to the staff and volunteers at Monyhull Church, Birmingham for making us all so welcome.
We are glad to be able to make recordings available of Dr Ray Evans excellent ministry at the conference. His ministry is especially helpful for churches wishing to engage with their communities.
