Who is against revival?

Hector Morrison

The week of June 21-28 was distinctly summery and the nearby beaches were well frequented in the free periods as the 15th WEST revival conference took place.

The principal of the Highland Theological College, Hector Morrison, brought his special brand of biblically theological preaching that ‘cuts across the fields to the cross’, through preaching from 1 and 2 Samuel and Psalm 126. He also lectured on the revivals of his native island, Lewis. Emyr James, associate pastor of the Welsh Evangelical Church, Cardiff, made light of preaching each morning from Leviticus and took us from the shadows to the glorious reality of Christ.

Younger ministers

Stephen Clark, pastor of Free School Evangelical Church, Bridgend, was penetrating and provocative in his analysis of opposition to revival today, particularly from younger ministers, and most helpful in pointing up biblical revival with particular emphasis on Thessalonica. Gwyn Davies of Aberystwyth showed why Thomas Charles was his ideal desert island companion! He also led the trip in the footsteps of the Calvinist Methodists who met at Watford, Caerphilly under Whitefield’s chairmanship. WEST’s Phil Hill gave masterly lectures on a movement of God in South Wales in the 1960s and 70s, illustrated from his personal experience in Govilon (near Abergavenny). Maureen Wise, UFM missionary, gave us vivid word pictures of God’s remarkable work in Moldova today.
