The dangers of the conference celebrity circuit
Carl Truman posts some good thoughts on the dangers of theological gurus here. In days when conferences are being used self-consciously as extra-legal alternative church courst (where there is no need to follow process and grant rights to the accused) … Continue reading

Personal relationship with Jesus?
