Posted by Bessie on January 24th, 2007

The Anabaptist Conference was held in Perth this last weekend.  I had the privilege of being there and I was quite excited at the emphases on basic issues to do with church that are soooo home church oriented! The Radical Reformation with its focus on getting back to what Jesus said did and taught, and discipleship […]
