Baptist Times News Round-up - 16 October 2024

Welcome to the Baptist Times News Round-up for October - please find the usual mix of news, stories, opinion pieces, baptisms and more.

This month features a report from the first Everyone Everywhere conference, an update about the Baptist Assembly, the opening of the St Hild Centre for Baptist Ministry, the penny fayre at Lyndhurst Baptist Church (where everything costs a penny) and news of a plaque to honour a Baptist pastor who stood prominently against Nazi ideology in the Greater German Reich.

Every blessing,
