More than 40 churches were represented at this year’s ‘Word on the Wash’ – an annual Bible-teaching event held in King’s Lynn, Norfolk.
Speaker Phil Moore (see photo) expounded the story of Lazarus in John chapter 11, applying this to the church in Britain ‘returning to life’.
Encouragement in Wales

Bishop Stuart Bell of the GAFCON-affiliated Anglican Convocation in Europe (ACE) writes: Archbishop Ben Kwashi, General Secretary of GAFCON, the global Anglican movement, was the guest of the Evangelical Fellowship of the Church in Wales meeting with Anglican leaders for 24 hours (28-29 September) at the Hookses, the retreat of the late John Stott in Dale, Pembrokeshire.
In one session he spoke of what God is doing more widely in the Anglican communion and in another he gave encouragement from the Scriptures and from his own experience that we should stand firm. ‘We have nothing in Nigeria’, he said, ‘so if we give up Christ then we would have less than nothing; whereas if you in the West were to give up Christ you still would have your comfortable lifestyle.’
