The Oliver Lyseight Annual LecturePosted by Administrator on 25/05/2010 09:17:35  The annual lecture is held during February - the month designated for Education in our denomination. The lectures offer additional space for us to engage in conversations about our Pentecostal heritage and how this informs our theology and missiological focus. Feedback on the events includes the following:
'The Annual Lecture affords our church leaders the coveted opportunity to become aware of the multiple challenges confronting Kingdom operations in the twenty first century and the privilege of discovering strategies for overcoming them.' Rev Barrington Mullings
'Dr Beckford's lecture and its importance to our present day experience in itself consolidated and articulated internal views that I've held. He reminded us that we can easily still be manipulated into unhealthy states of being under the disguise that this is how Christians should be. Unfortunately the roles of some Leaders within black majority churches often collude in this process. Why is this so? Is it as Dr Beckford proposes the lack of theological training? I believe this is another question that needs answering.' Dr Laurel Drummond.
'Every serious education institution needs an annual lecture to analyse the past and chart the future. The Black British church in the 21st century needs direction and leadership now more than ever. The NTCG Leadership Training Centre throws down the gauntlet for its leaders to then accept or decline the challenge.' Rev Kevin Shaw
