At 40, EMA remains committed to core values

Dick Lucas, founder of the EMA.

Dick Lucas’s brainchild, the Evangelical Ministry Assembly (EMA), is holding its 40th conference this June, writes Iain Taylor.

The main theme is ‘Let it be Known – Bringing God’s fame to all nations, and all generations’ and the keynote speaker is Jim Hamilton of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, who will be looking at the Psalms.

Lucas’s original vision for the EMA had two aims: to establish an annual forum where clergy could hear good speakers address major issues affecting their ministries; and to heal the sad division between Anglican and Free Church ministers. After 40 years the event, held this year at Emmanuel Centre in Westminster, has now become a staple fixture in the evangelical calendar. At its largest it attracted 1,100 people to the Barbican Centre.
