Conference in Cambridge

Williams, Bejon, Howard,Watkins

On Saturday I was in Cambridge for a conference organised by Tyndale House. We were in C3 an impressive state of the art church building, complete with a glitter ball, something we somwhow manage without here in Childs Hill. About 120 were there with others online. The day was split up into four sessions. Tony Watkins began with a gentle reminder of the importane of the Old Testament. Then the dynamo that is Peter Williams presented an eclectic paper on archaeology and names and other helpful matters to help us with the Old Testament. He actually had us reading Moabite! Not an every day experience at all. After lunch we had two more helpful papers on genealogies (James Bejon) and the Assyrian invasion of 701 BC (Caleb Howard). There was also a Q&A at the end. I hardly knew anyone there but it was nice to talk to one or two (a young man from a Grace Baptist church, a lady and her home schooled children, an American student new to Cambridge). I picked up some of ther brilliant magazines and a free book too. They are doing great work. Check out their website here.
