The need to value the work of women and support them in their biblical ministries has been taken seriously by the London Seminary, as two new Flourish training sites will be added to its oversubscribed London-based course from September 2018.
Applicants soon exceeded places when the course was launched last September, so the addition of programmes based out of London was warmly welcomed.
Almost two years ago, the then Principal of London Seminary, Robert Strivens, started thinking about the possibility of running a course to better equip women serving in biblically appropriate roles in churches. A group of women experienced in different types of ministry were gathered for a consultation as to what such a course should include, and if indeed one was needed.
