Take a Drive Over: "Brits Abroad" Interview

by | Mar 1, 2012 | Uncategorized

Jeremy Walker posted an interview today over at his site with Derek Thomas and Carl Trueman, two “Brits” currently living and ministering here in the States. I would encourage you to take a drive over there and read it. Lots of great advice from their experience in both the seminary and pastoral contexts. I agree strongly with most of it, excepting their move from being Baptists to Presbyterians. Look for the following:

  1. The importance of the intersection between the academy and local church ministry, and the need for those who teach to immerse themselves in real church ministry;
  2. Their opinions about the younger reformed movement, and its view of the local church and personal holiness;
  3. Some great advice for maintaining a long-term pastoral ministry;
  4. A clear declaration that culture is not neutral–you don’t see that too often these days.
