Calgary Preaching Conference (May 7-9, 2008)

One of the highlights of the Artizo training program in the spring is the Simeon Trust 'Spring Training' preaching conference in Calgary. Five interns from Vancouver, one from Ottawa and one from Toronto will be attending the three-day conference. The Simeon Trust is committed to training ministers in faithful Biblical exposition. The guest speakers at this year's conference are David Helm (Holy Trinity, Chicago) and David Short (St. John's Anglican Church, Vancouver). The focus of the conference is on teaching rigorous and faithful Biblical exegesis. The interns will be challenged to think through how they would teach from many passages and critiqued in small groups on passages they have prepared beforehand. It is also an opportunity for interns from across Canada to spend time with each other as well as with Artizo alumni. for more information about the Simeon Trust visit www.simeontrust.org.

Artizo Newsletters are intended to provide churches with ideas and case studies on how to improve the spreading of the gospel. The topics include:

Artizo News - Fall 05

The real Anglican Crisis - History demonstrates that under God the church rises or falls with the preaching of the Gospel. Congregations thrive when ministers are equipped to preach the Scriptures and give leadership which models the love, integrity, humility, wisdom and courage of Jesus Christ. The reality is that the Anglican church of Canada has lost on average 18,000 members per year for the past 25 years. Angicans need to be taught how to share the gospel. Read PDF Fall 05
