Riga resumes in-person Bible training

The School of Preachers

It is great to be in Latvia in late summer when the daylight still holds until late evening and the temperature can still be hot. It was a particular delight for me to be there with Anthony Billington, associated with the London Institute of Contemporary Christianity, to teach a weekend course on Whole Life Preaching as part of the two-year School of Preachers programme at the Latvian Biblical Centre (LBC) in Riga.

It had been nine months since the group were able to meet in person. We have managed to maintain the teaching via Zoom involving three languages. It was lovely to have the buzz of personal interaction in those September sessions.

LBC runs many other courses, including its foundation course: Theology and Ministry, and another of higher-level courses: the School of Christianity Work and Society. The latter is aimed at Christian professionals, who want to make the connection between Scripture and their everyday lives.
