Fourum

Last Thursday we held one of our 'Fourum' events. Instead of the usual Bible Study (going through Romans, currently) we had four speakers each offering a 10-15 minute talk on a topic of their choice, with a few minutes for questions afterward. A spoke on intercessory prayer, D on the ancient Assyrians, JM on George Muller, and JT on Athanasius. I learned several things and it was a good opportunity to hear other voices. Previous topics included some curious textual features of the Authorised Version of the Bible, and the lives of Joseph Scriven and Thomas Jolley. I hope to arrange another one in the summer, so any Thursday night regulars who fancy themselves a 15-minute expert on a particular topic (e.g. origins of a hymn, an aspect of church history), get in touch.
