The inaugural Weekend Minister’s Wives Conference organised by the Proclamation Trust, was held on 7-9 October at Ettington Chase, near Stratford-upon-Avon.
With 40 in attendance, there was a significant representation from the independent churches. The main speakers were Adrian Reynolds, Director of Ministry of the Trust, and Andrea Trevenna, associate for Women's Ministry at St Nicholas Church, Sevenoaks.
Adrian spoke on Malachi, exhorting us to look to Jesus, the real heart changer. Andrea taught us from Philippians and Habbakuk that true contentment is peace separate from our circumstances, only achieved when we seek to live for his glory. Seminar topics included dealing with burnout, marriage in ministry, friendship and transgender issues. Judging by the positive feedback, we look forward to the conference growing in future years.
