Report on Edinburgh Conference (Update)
Published on: November 01, 2023

Over 60 people gathered at Wellsprings in Edinburgh, Scotland, on 13-14th October for a conference called ‘Finding Home’.

Baxter shared the essence of the undiluted gospel, utilising the three chairs as a picture of the Godhead ‘turned towards’ each other. Other speakers were not able to travel, but Wm. Paul Young joined by video link on the Saturday evening, sharing with characteristic vulnerability and responding to a range of searching questions. There was much positive feedback overall from the event.

One lady wrote: ‘I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed the conference. I had no idea what it would be like….The last time I was physically in a church was 4 years ago for my mum’s funeral and I am not sure when before that…. So going into a church was scary. I totally enjoyed myself and loved it. It wasn’t scary and was so chilled and relaxed. I didn’t realise that church could be like that. I loved the talks and really met with God and it was great. So nothing like my anxieties or fears. It was really lovely.’

‘Just wanted to say how very much we enjoyed the conference this weekend. Thank you so much for organising it, and to the wider team for hosting it at your lovely hospitable and creative church.
We are just about to go through our notes on the train home. So much to absorb, including the songs which were very moving in parts.
Thanks to Chris for texting me some of the song titles and to him and the team for leading us in worship in such a sensitive way.
Most of all it was very special to us to see Baxter in person after reading and watching his teaching for many years now. And of course, the interactive online session with Paul. Both are clearly living out the deeply transforming understanding they’ve discovered and spread, which makes them such rounded and personable people. Please pass on our thanks to them for this and for how much we’ve benefitted over the years from their teaching.’
