 St John's Durham and the Darlington District of the Methodist Church are going to host a conversation with him from 3pm on Saturday 18th September, at St John's College, Durham in the Tristram Room – "Dry bones live! Mission and leadership in times of change"?' It will be intensely practical, stimulating and inspiring to anyone interested in mission in a changing culture. We hope you will be able to join us for this rare opportunity to talk with an influential voice in mission thinking and acting.
