Apologetics In the Local Church
Detailed information about the 2012 Forum Mentoring is not yet available but will be posted in the future. Please review the information from the 2011 Forum Mentoring below for a look at the quality of mentoring that will be available at the 2012 Forum.
APOLOGETICS IN THE LOCAL CHURCH MENTORING
In increasingly secular Europe, apologetics plays an increasingly important role. But unfortunately many churches shrink from engaging in the apologetic task. As a result they miss the chance to engage seekers with the truth of the Gospel message; in addition, they fail to prepare their congregations to answer difficult questions about Christianity. During Forum Apologetics in the Local Church Mentoring participants can ask questions about how to incorporate apologetics into the life of their church in order that believers might embrace a more confident faith and sceptics find sensible responses to their sincere objections.
APOLOGETICS IN THE LOCAL CHURCH MENTORS
David Robertson was born on 2nd May 1962 and brought up in the Highlands of Scotland. He studied history at the University of Edinburgh and then theology at the Free Church College before becoming the minister of Brora Free Church in 1986. In 1992 they were called to St Peters Free Church in Dundee, the historic church of Robert Murray McCheyne, which had declined to single figures. In God’s providence the church has grown to around 150 people and has planted a new church in St Andrews. They have just completed a £1 million refurbishment of the building and are in the process of setting up a Centre for Public Christianity, using apologetic evangelism to communicate the Gospel. David does a great deal of debating and evangelism in public forums. David is also editor of The Record, a chaplain at the University of Dundee and European Church planting advisor for Mission to the World. He has written two books Awakening – the life and ministry of Robert Murray McCheyne (Paternoster 2003 reprinted CFP 2010) and The Dawkins Letters – challenging atheist myths (Christian Focus Publications 2007). His new book is entitled Magnificent Obsession.
