Clifton’. He is also the recipient of some 12 Honorary Doctorates and author of 14 books. Currently he is Chancellor of the University of Gloucestershire and President of the London School of Theology.
The Living Word is a wonderful opportunity for local churches to gather for outstanding Bible exposition that will challenge, convict, and encourage people to greater obedience to our Lord.
Come and celebrate with hundreds of people as we worship and praise God together and enjoy relevant Bible teaching.
