On Beyond Belief the presenter Ernie Rea closed with the question "If we should, why do you think we should remember John Calvin?" Steve Jeffery answered last with this fine summary: "Calvin paints a picture of God as magnificent and glorious and gracious beyond our wildest dreams, before whom we're humbled, loved more than we could possibly have imagined and for many people today their problem is their God is too small and if we would listen to Calvin and people like him we would learn what we need."

Calvin on the BBC
The BBC are not exactly celebrating the approaching Calvin 500 anniversary but there was a fairly good piece on Radio Ulster, which can be downloaded from here until 8:02pm Thursday 25th June 2009. Much less satisfactory was a discussion on Radio 4 available here until 12:00am Thursday 1st January 2099 Beyond Belief. At least Steve Jeffery, a Calvinist who met for the first time recently, was there to argue against the other two. There was also a nice interview with a young woman from Inverness in the middle.
Catch the vision 3
As intimated we met yesterday a sthe Theological Study Group at the John Owen Centre/LTS for our study of Catch the Vision. Seven of us gathered including one man new to the rest of us - Steve Jeffery, pastor of a new church in North London. I hope he felt at home with us. he writes about it here. It was inevitably a wide ranging discussion. While appreciating John J's efforts, there were lots of things we felt that were missing and some questionable conclusions. It was good to have Austin Walker present whose memory goes back even further than mine. He was able to confirm some of things in the book that seemed not quite right to some of the more sceptical among us.
We were not able to use the Library as the work on the new Library and lecture rooms is almost complete and they were busy ferrying books in. The new rooms are state of the art and very impressive and everything seems to have gione to plan. As a student who likes distractions I found it perturbing to see that the lecture rooms ar pretty much without windows!
