10 Years of the Down & Dromore Bible Week
10 years after the first Bible Week in Dollingstown, hundreds from around the diocese will gather in Willowfield Church at the end of August for worship, Bible teaching and fellowship.
“I’m still amazed and deeply impressed by people’s desire to be rooted in the Word of God as the new season begins,” said Bishop Harold. “There is nothing more important in our generation than the knowledge of God’s word and living it out in our churches so that they become incarnational models for people to see the life and reality of Christ.”
From 2 Samuel to 1 & 2 Timothy, and from Habakkuk to Revelation, we have explored different books and themes over the years and our speakers have come from The Antipodes, England, Nigeria, North America and Northern Ireland.
In 2016 we welcome our first Scot and Presbyterian, Revd Dr Iain Provan, Marshall Sheppard Professor of Biblical Studies at Regent College, Vancouver, and an ordained minister in the Church of Scotland. He has a distinguished academic career and is the author of numerous essays, articles and several books.
Iain will take as his theme: The Big Picture: Reading the Bible for All That’s There. He said: “I’ll be sharing with you one of my passions – to get all of God’s people reading all of God’s Word (Old and New Testaments) and understanding it as one Great Story in which we are supposed to live our lives.”
It promises to be an excellent Bible Week. Please join us in Belfast each evening at 7.45 pm from Tuesday 30 August –Friday 2 September. Although the event is organised by the diocese, anyone is welcome to come along and there is no charge.
