The 61st Free Church School in Theology was held on September 2-5 at Carronvale House in Larbert.
Monday evening began with an address on ‘The Life and Sermons of Robert Murray McCheyne’ delivered by the Rev. Alasdair Macleod, the heart-warming topic being chosen to mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of McCheyne.
Tuesday followed with a missionary presentation on the Republic of Ireland by Dublin-based church planter the Rev. Mark Fitzpatrick, who gave an encouraging report on some very positive developments in his home city. Then, the Rev. Maurice Roberts gave a very practical and challenging paper on sanctification, speaking as a late replacement for advertised speaker the Rev. Kenneth Stewart, who was unwell.
