We had an excellent lunch time zoom lecture on Monday from Ian Parry, speaking on William Carey. Normally we have all the ostroy and then a few applications but this was shaped in an applicatory way and so was mor epointed and led to a decent discussion time too. Ian's point about Carey was that unlike us he was surrounded by prevailing corporate prayer due to an initiative from Jonathan Edwards and others before him; there was also a lot of theological confidence in the air and not ust because of the millennial positon many took; thirdly, there was a deep resilience and persistence that comes out in Carey's familiar story (See here for the lecture). We are very thankful to Ian for this very helpful and stimulating lecture.
Next month we travel from Cardiff, Wales to Inverness, Scotland, from where Dr Nick Needham will give us a lecture on Robert Dabney. Again on zoom, it is on October 21. Details from The Library.
