How can you mix church and jazz? What do God and jazz have in common? Well, the answer is 'a great deal' according to Professor William Edgar of Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia.

Not only is Bill Edgar a professor of apologetics at perhaps the foremost Reformed seminary in the USA, but he is also an extremely gifted jazz pianist.

In mid-January he was in Britain using his gifts to present the gospel through jazz. He played and spoke at events organised by St. George's Tron Church in Glasgow, Grove Chapel in London, and Chertsey Street Baptist Church, Guildford, under the title 'Heaven in a night-club'.
