First for Reformation women
Emily Lucas
The Reformation Fellowship has hosted its
first Theological Conference for Women,
with over 150 joining on Zoom from around
the world, including the Philippines and
America. ‘The Fear of the Lord’ conference
opened with a seminar by Union’s President
and Professor of Theology, Mike Reeves.
Many women are used
to
speaking of
a desire to walk
in
fear of the Lord, of
using the phraseology and seeking to
live
this
life of wisdom. However,
to
speak
of
fear
in association with God can also
breed wrongful association, particularly as
we
live
in a culture, as Reeves describes,
that is ‘allergic to fear’. Reeves gave a rich,
refreshing recapturing of the true sense of
what it means to have and live in fear of the
Lord. Drawing on his recently published
Rejoice and Tremble, Reeves passionately and
eloquently refreshed the hearts of the saints
attending with the truth that the fear of
God, true saintly fear of God, is the Bible’s great balm for today’s fears and anxieties.

Eighty women from across Europe have
gathered for a conference aimed at helping
them grow in sharing their faith.
The ‘Passion For Evangelism’ (PFE) event
was organised by Nay Dawson,
regional
training co-ordinator for the International
Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES).
Isn’t it time we start fighting for women rather than against them?
‘The blog made very uncomfortable reading and would be utterly crushing to a pastor's wife’, 'I couldn't even finish this blog, I felt so sick and humiliated', ‘I was left really concerned about the bruising tone of this article'. What are the blogs these women read to leave them feeling like this?
A weird off beat lone ranger Pastor mishandling the Bible? Or blogs posted by well respected mature pastors backed by churches and organisations?
