After 70 years at Westminster Chapel, the Westminster Fellowship will begin meeting at Westminster Baptist Church, Horseferry Road, from February 2014.
The Fellowship is a ministers’ fraternal, open ‘to men exercising ministry in a local church or among the churches’ who give wholehearted agreement to its principles. It was started in 1942 by Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, then in his early years at Westminster Chapel, and enjoyed unique growth and blessing under his leadership.
Christian unity
It is now smaller, but its members still value, uphold and seek to practise the principles of conservative evangelicalism and experimental Calvinism in today’s context. Central to the Fellowship’s ethos is that true Christian unity arises from the gospel, not from organisational connections.
In some ways it is more of a national than a London fraternal, as members come from far afield. This adds breadth and depth to the discussions which are conducted in a spirit of true fellowship and not simply of intellectual debate.
The meeting on February 3 will be addressed by Dr. Garry Williams, Director of the John Owen Centre, on ‘Roman Catholicism today’.
