Croeso i Gymreu. This is Welsh for "Welcome to
Wales!" for Wales—the land of the ancient Britons and the origin
of King Henry VIII, Puritan John Owen, war Prime Minister David
Lloyd-George and "the Doctor" (Martyn Lloyd-Jones)—is the
venue for the 2010 British Reformed Fellowship (BRF) Family Conference
(7-14 August).
"The Word of God for Our Generation"
Profs. Engelsma and Hanko are the main speakers at
the 11th BRF Conference, the theme being "The Word of God for Our
Generation."
In one of the two Sunday sermons, Prof. Engelsma is to deal with the
authority of Holy Scripture. Later in the week, a special lecture given by the Senior
Deputation Speaker for the UK branch of the Trinitarian Bible Society
will treat "The Preservation of the Biblical Text."
The six main conference addresses will build on this
foundation. Prof. Engelsma will develop the Reformed world-view, while
Prof Hanko will trace the organic development of sin. The next three
speeches focus on issues of pressing concern for us and our children in
our increasingly liberal and anti-Christian Western society, covering
pragmatism and moral relativism, covetousness and profligacy, and
pornography and fornication: "The Abolition of Truth,"
"The Reformed Believer and Money" and "The Sexual
Revolution." The final address, "Towards a One-World
Government," will trace the "progress" of the church's
apostasy and the world's degeneracy as they desire, and prepare the way
for, the universal Antichristian kingdom—which in turn leads to the glorious return of our
Lord!
At least, these are likely to be amongst the issues
explored in the six conference addresses, given the titles the speakers
have settled upon. Profs. Hanko and Engelsma have full liberty to
develop their subjects as they see fit! Here I simply want to whet your
appetite.
Hebron Hall Christian Centre
Hebron Hall (www.hebronhall.org)
is well situated, being just a ten-minute taxi ride from Cardiff Airport
(CWL). A short walk from our conference centre will take you to a
station with frequent trains to Cardiff (Wales' capital city) and the
coast—both only a few miles away.
The
BRF has the whole centre to itself. All room are en-suite, with bedding
and towels provided. Accommodation is full board. Free wireless internet
access is provided in designated areas of the centre. Hebron Hall has
several tea/coffee areas, ideal for good discussions for young and old.
Hebron Hall has an indoor, 20 metre, heated swimming
pool; an indoor sports hall for 5-a-side football/soccer, volleyball,
basketball, etc.; an indoor games room with a pool table, a snooker
table and a table-tennis table; and two outdoor tennis courts.
Two Day Trips by Coach
We think you'll enjoy the day trips! One trip is to
the old Ro
man town of Bath (www.visitbath.co.uk), a World Heritage Site famous for its
naturally heated spring waters, its beautiful buildings, its association
with Jane Austen's novels and its Royal Victoria Park.
Day
trip 2 takes us to Tintern Abbey (www.castlewales.com/tintern.html), the best preserved medieval abbey in
Wales. I've spoken with our tour guide over the
phone. He is a mine of information! He will show us around this
beautiful, historic site attired in his monastic cowl. The other half of
this day trip takes us to Caerphilly Castle (www.greatcastlesofwales.co.uk/caerphilly.htm), the
largest castle in
Wales, with its moats, islands, leaning tower and siege engines. Yet it
is surrounded by shops and cafes; an unusual sight!
Do Come!
