Last Leicester conference
Graham Heaps
The very last Banner of Truth Leicester Ministers’ Conference was held from 11-14 April! The Conference began in 1962 at College Hall in the Knighton area of the city with about 40 men in attendance, and has been held in Leicester ever since. However, because of changes to Leicester University term times and student housing contracts, it is moving to the Yarnfield Park Conference Centre in rural Staffordshire from next year.
The Conference has become famed not just for its Reformed stance but for its excellent ministry and its sweet fellowship. It seems to this ‘regular’ that the numbers have declined somewhat from its high point (in the 1990s?), but there are still plenty for the singing of hymns and metrical Psalms to be strikingly impressive.
