May 31 Andrew Fuller Center conference on pastoral ministry in the Protestant tradition

We hope this will be a banner day when we celebrate the tercentenary of John Newton (born 1725) with a paper from the Newton expert, Dr Grant Gordon—and we also hope to present Dr Gordon with a Festschrift of essays, including ones by Mark Noll, Ian Shaw, Bruce Hindmarsh, Ryan Griffith, Yuta Seki, Lon Graham, Peter Morden, Chris Crocker, Baiyu Song, Jon Cleland, and Garrett Walden. It is also the 250th anniversary of the birth of Jane Austen, hence the essay on her. and to kick off the conference, a talk on Peter Vermigli and his concept of the ministry by Dr Jon Cleland.

And earlier that day, in the morning at 11am, we have a presentation of the two vols of Dr Stan Fowler’s works to Dr Fowler.
