The 65th Free Church School in Theology met in Larbert, from 4 to 7 September.
With 2017 being a Reformation anniversary year, it was fitting that the first paper was ‘Luther the Reformer’ by the Revd John W. Keddie. Mr Keddie reminded us that Martin Luther was God’s man for the times. He was a man of courage, conviction and prayer. We were encouraged to cry out to the Lord with great urgency today for such a man of God for the Reformation of the church in Scotland and the Western world.
The Netherlands
The Revd Dr Pieter De Vries, minister of the Restored Reformed Congregations, gave an ‘Overview of the Church in the Netherlands’. Explaining the complex nature of the history of the Netherlands church situation, it was not dissimilar to the complexity of the history of the Scottish church situation, with its various splits and unions over the decades.
