‘The Image of God and the Tower of Babel’
13 November 2024,On Sunday 3 November, Paul Garner and Matthew Pickhaver led morning worship services in two local churches. Paul was at Soham Baptist in Cambridgeshire where he preached about the Tower of Babel from Genesis 11:1-9. Find out how the Babel account satirises human pride and arrogance and how archaeological and cultural evidence confirms its historicity, as well as some of its lessons for the present day, by listening to the sermon ‘The Lord came down’ here.
Matthew at Hainault Road Baptist Church.
Meanwhile, Matthew was at Hainault Road Baptist in Leyton, east London (pictured). He preached from Genesis 1:26-27 about what it means that we’re made in the Image of God and how that image-bearing is marred by our sin but can be mended by the Saviour. You can hear the service here (with the sermon from 30:15). Both gave ministry updates too, including the latest on Cambridge House.
In the evening Paul also gave a talk to Truth in Science’s After 8 Student Forum on Zoom, presenting ‘Geological evidence of a worldwide flood’, followed by a Q&A.
‘Sharing our Work at Word on the Wash’
10 October 2024,On Saturday 5 October, Matthew Pickhaver again ran a resource table at the ‘Word on the Wash’ one-day Bible conference in King’s Lynn, Norfolk. Some interesting conversations were had about our work and the importance of the origins issue, with both existing and new contacts. Besides sales, we gave out many copies of our Prayer News, while a number of returning delegates expressed appreciation for Stephen Lloyd's seminar at last year's event.

‘Fossils, Friends and Field Trips in France!’
10 October 2024,Paul Garner has returned from the Wort und Wissen geoscience meeting, based this year in Reims, north-eastern France. The conference theme was the Paris Basin and the rapid radiation of the mammals in the Tertiary. Paul gave a talk about the extension of the Paris Basin in southern England. The conference also included a field trip to a number of geological sites in the region, as well as to the natural history and palaeontology museums in Paris.
Attendees came from several European countries and we were delighted this year to be joined by Dr Marcus Ross from across the pond! After the conference, Paul and some colleagues also had the opportunity to visit some other geological localities to the west of Paris and on the Normandy coast.
