The truth will set you free

The bi-annual Affinity Theological Studies Conference  will take place 2-4 February 2011 at High Leigh Conference Centre. It's a conference with a difference in that all the papers are sent out beforehand, a brief presentation is given then folk confer and discuss. It looks a cracking line up
