6 March saw around 50 people gather at Eden Chapel Cambridge to hear Andrew Fellows of the Christian Heritage Centre present four beautifully crafted talks on apologetics.
Previously the director of the UK branch of L’Abri, the brainchild of Francis Schaeffer in the 1960s, Andrew’s special field is the relationship of the gospel to contemporary culture and he’s brimming with practical insights.
Lord of all
Firstly we were reminded that Christ’s lordship over the whole of life, in contrast to philosophical dualism, greatly broadens the scope of our witness. As Christians we should value both the material and the spiritual, yet we have often neglected the former on account of an unbiblical pietism which may well have seeped down from first-century Gnosticism. Such thinking is clearly countered in the New Testament, for example in its high valuation of marriage.
