Several hundred delegates (two pictured) have gathered at Ealing International Presbyterian Church for ‘Catalyst 2022’.
There were delegates from across the IPC, not just ministers and elders, but many members. People came from other Presbyterian denominations from across the UK (e.g. EPCEW, EPC-NI, PCI) as well as Anglicans, Baptists and Independents, with some brotherly warm banter. The age range was as striking as the geographical reach.
The theme was: The Christian Church – Her Lord and Servants, Her Life and Praise. Each of the talks encouraged and dug deep – Sinclair Ferguson from Philippians on being servants, Jonathan Landry Cruse on Praise (why, what, how), plus Jonty Rhodes on the Lord of the Church (Christ as Prophet, Priest and King, looking at the deeper dimensions often overlooked). And then on the Life of the Church we had three talks from Jonny Gibson (Sabbath), David Gibson (Baptism) and Simon Arscott (Polity). Anyone could follow these and anyone would be challenged.
