‘Intensive’ grace

Some of those enjoying ‘intensive’ fellowship

Grace Baptist leaders have held an ‘intensive’ 24-hour fellowship getaway as in-person conferences continued to resume after the lockdowns of the last two years.

Jim Sayers writes: ‘Recently 72 leaders from 54 churches gathered for an ‘overnighter’ at High Leigh for an intensive 24 hours of fellowship. Representing nearly all the member churches of the AGBC(SE), they enjoyed ministry from Wale Akinrogunde (see photo below), John Benton and David Skull. Several others had contributed papers beforehand for discussion in small groups, on themes as diverse as Flourishing as multi-tasking pastors, How our polity can help us, and how we handle the current issues around sexuality and gender. These produced some lively discussions that continued over the dinner table.’
