From Sydney to Skopje 3 - Theological Anthropology

I am here in Macedonia as a guest of the newly founded Balkan Institute for Faith and Culture, which is run by my good friends Kosta and Nada Milkov:




One of the things that the BFIC would like to promote is a series of lectures/seminars for pastors called 'Theology for Life'. Yesterday I began teaching a group of around twenty evangelical pastors and pastor's wives from all over the country and from Bulgaria as well my 'Theological Anthropology' material. There were Baptists, Congregationalists, independents, and others too. The material was designed for Moore College's MA course/4th year programme - that is, for theology graduates who are in pastoral ministry or about to enter it, but with a degree of assumed knowledge. The group of pastors and their wives certainly all fit this profile, and participated knowledgeably and insightfully. I am completing the course today (Saturday) by teaching from 9am to 6pm. I believe we will be stopping for lunch!

Here is Kosta at the church building where the seminar is being held.

This is the Evangelical Church of Macedonia in Skopje.

This is the seminar about to get down to work.

And here we are four hours later having finished for the evening. It was a very enjoyable time with a lot of stimulating discussion and plenty of laughs!
