How do you finish off an #Oxford #Theology conference in style? With the @OIMTS ''Institute banquet', naturally. #OIMTS2018 #OGHPhD

[Jonathan Stubbs @J_D_Stubbs]

Last meeting of the @OIMTS 'mission & evangelism' working group done. Now for a 'free' afternoon in #Oxford. #OIMTS2018 (Group photo from yesterday, slightly depleted in number, but still going strong)

[Jonathan Stubbs @J_D_Stubbs]

From last night's @OIMTS 'Institute banquet', a couple of obligatory group pictures with the @NTC_Manchester crowd - with current lecturers Julie Lunn and Geordan Hammond, and with fellow alumni Tammie Grimm. #OIMTS2018 #OGHPhD

The Rev Prof Peter Storey formerly Presiding Bishop of the Methodist Church of Southern Africa and faithful opponent of the apartheid regime is preaching at Wesley Memorial Church. ‘Having our backs turned to the world may be the church’s favourite posture.’ @OIMTS #OIMTS2018

[Glen O'Brien @glenobrien]

‘Only when the church gets broken can the world be mended.’ - Rev Prof Peter Storey @OIMTS #OIMTS2018

[Methodist Heritage Oxford @MethodistOxford]

What a wonderful privilege to hear the Revd Prof Peter Storey preaching at Wesley Memorial #Oxford this morning, calling us to be church rather than just do church. Allelulia! Powerful testimony from a great and humble man. @MethodistOxford @MethodistGB @OIMTS @MethodistHerit

Final @OIMTS 'Mission & Evangelism' session today, Ben Hartley - 'Methodist – Native American Revival in the Oregon Territory, 1834-1844'. Discussing Henry & Elvira Perkins work near Dalles, Oregon, and the challenges of translating scripture into Sahaptin. #OIMTS2018

The bright succession runs.

Daniel Flores is speaking on Methodism’s relationship to American Presidents - ‘The Joseph Dilemma: Chaplains, Lobbyists, Spiritual Advisors and the Burden of Access.’ @OIMTS #OIMTS2018

The handover - Claire Potter hands over 'the notes' to George Bailey who is the incoming British Secretary of the #OIMTS. Starting to think already about 2023 ...

[Glen O'Brien @glenobrien]

Rev Prof Sarah Lancaster is giving the final plenary on ‘Revival and Staying Alive: Respiration in John Wesley’ Theology’ using biography to think through the theological problem of affirming regeneration in baptism and calling for conversion later in life @OIMTS #OIMTS2018

[Jonathan Stubbs @J_D_Stubbs]

Day 7 of @OIMTS, Rev. Prof. Sarah Lancaster gives our final plenary session - ‘Revival and Staying Alive: Respiration in John Wesley’ Theology’, discussing baptism, new life, Christian living, Methodist classes, sanctification and Christian maturity. #OIMTS2018

[Jonathan Stubbs @J_D_Stubbs]

@OIMTS 'The effect of neglecting "spiritual respiration", and focusing solely on the moment of "new birth", leads to "spiritually dead Christians" - baptism is the marker of a beginning, not the end of the journey' - Sarah Lancaster. #OIMTS2018

[Jonathan Stubbs @J_D_Stubbs]

@OIMTS 'Fellowship and community can be essential in helping to maintain "spiritual respiration", especially when "breathing becomes difficult", how we manage this in our busy contemporary lives is a challenge for all of us' - Sarah Lancaster. #OIMTS2018

[Glen O'Brien @glenobrien]

‘The family that pounds yams loudly should not think that the family that pounds yams quietly is starving’ - Nigerian proverb that informs the ‘mixed economy’ of prayer in Methodism @OIMTS #OIMTS2018

Starting a revolution! An interview with @Joerg_Rieger on justice, economics, class and labor @OIMTS @PembrokeOxford #VLOG 92 https://t.co/up3K1vqIC8 #theology #justice #publictheology

[Glen O'Brien @glenobrien]

What’s the collective noun for a group of Methodists? @OIMTS #OIMTS2018

[Methodist Heritage Oxford @MethodistOxford]

Great to see former John Wesley Society members taking the opportunity for a group photo after the #FernleyHartley lecture @OIMTS @MethodistOxford . Why not make Wesley Memorial your church home?.#GoingtoOxford

[Oakwood Church @OakwoodChurchLS]

In case you were wondering where George is this week... he is thinking theologically in Oxford!!
