Dear Fellow Alum,
                       
It’s hard to believe that we are back in the full school mode, but indeed the academic year is nearly underway.  Please pray for the new body of students at Westminster, as well as those continuing their studies.  Classes resume on September 6, with a convocation address by Dr. Tim Lane.

Thank you for your prayerful partnership, and we sincerely hope to see you at one of the Common Ground Tour dinners.  If there is any way we might serve you in your ongoing ministry, please contact us at alumni@wts.edu.

For the Glory of the Lamb,


David Garner

Featured Book by WTS Alum: J. Gresham Machen: A Guided Tour of His Life and Thought. by Stephen J. Nichols

All who know Westminster know the import of J. Gresham Machen historically and theologically. As Darryl Hart notes, “J. Gresham Machen’s writing was as clear as his arguments were persuasive. Nichols has accomplished the rare feat of making Machen even more accessible. For readers unfamiliar with Machen, this is the perfect appetizer to feast of further study in Machen’s writings. For those more knowledgeable, this will be a reliable reference." Check out this valuable work for yourself, J. Gresham Machen: A Guided Tour of His Life and Thought.  

 

Preaching Conference at WTS

The 2007 Institute on Biblical Preaching will be held at Westminster on October 23-24.  Our keynote speaker Dr. Dan Doriani will speak on the theme, “Getting ‘The Story’ Right.”  A special alumni reunion dinner for all WTS alumni will be held on Wednesday, October 24, with special recognition for the “xxx7” classes (2007, 1997, 1987, etc.).  Come join us for the conference and for the dinner!  RSVP Fiona Davenport at fdavenport@wts.edu.
