Bishop Tom Wright at Durham

Today I joined with a goodly crowd of folk from the Christian Leaders Forum at The Radisson Blu Hotel in Durham, to hear the bishop of that same city expound his thoughts [based on a new book he is currently writing] on 'Paul's Challenge to Tomorrows Church'. I could only stay for the morning session but what gems were heard from Bishop Tom Wright. He was of course delivering on his favourite topic and how neatly he proceeded to engage the gathered throng with his thoughts on the book of Galatians, the nature of the People of God, and the purpose of the church in the current and future ages.... all linked with a superb outline of the Abraham covenant and how this covenant embraces all people of faith today.

Bishop Tom is a prolific author and one of the 'better' theologians (imho) on the Anglican scene today. By that I mean he is neither liberal or stodgily conservative, but directs his material in a much more refreshing and engaging way, which has somehow had the effect of making the subject of bible study, and of faith itself much more interesting and approachable.
